Should I separate the pups or plant as is?

The biggest pup is probably large enough to separate if you so choose. Though, honestly, they're not hurting the main plant being on there, so it's totally optional.

Thanks Bryan! It's a little root bound so I was unsure.

I would say, if it's a little root bound, leave the pups for now, and just graduate to a little larger container. You can, gently, pick and pull at the roots a little to loosen them a bit.

Went ahead and divided them. I got four plants out of the deal. At first I tried a sharp knife then I had to use a shovel and hammer.
