If you don’t have a big enough pot, can you divide it and give away half, and then repot the half you keep?

#### sidnie replied on 2024-09-20

it split up into 5 separate plants!

Every time I try to divide a plant, it always dies. I must do it wrong or something. 🤷‍♀️

#### MattL replied on 2024-09-20

The plant in the picture is so vigorous I feel like killing it would be frankly impossible. Not all plants take well to it!

Wow, spiders like to be root bound, but this is ridicules.  
Next time I repot mine, Im going terra cotta, less chance of root rot.
