So let’s say you had a bunch of half alive succulents that you didn’t really know what to do with. You threw them into a large empty pot of soil and forgot about them.. Then they started growing… and growing… and they were so cute at first that you let them be but now you don’t know how to separate the Frankenstein that you created. How would yall hack this up? What would you do?

Do you want to seapate them? Unless they are struggling, they can stay there. But if you want to move them, well, you might have to gently dig into the pot and see how the roots are running.

i just feel there’s probably a better way to present all the babies than in their current mangled mess, idk maybe i leave it so i don’t kill anything on accident

Is agree. You can just leave them. Or take them out as one unit and repot.
