This method is great if your plant has multiple offshoots or “babies” growing from the base. To me, this is the easiest way to propagate, so I usually roll with dividing them.

Remove and Examine  First, gently remove the entire plant from its pot and take a look at the roots

1. Separate the Offshoots Identify the offshoots you want to separate (I usually leave the smaller ones that are less than an inch to keep growing in the original pot). Carefully tease the roots of the offshoot away from the main plant.

Pot and Water Plant the newly separated offshoot in its own pot with fresh potting mix and water it thoroughly.

Light and Care Place the new plant in a spot with medium to bright indirect light and keep the soil consistently moist for the first week or two. After that, you can resume a regular watering schedule.
