I grow most of my plants in containers .
There are different ways to separate the pups.This is how I choose to separate.
I wait till the pup has some supporting roots and then sever from the main plant.
Take as much undisturbed rootball as possible and replant.
Pup in photo is knee high.
Then I replant them and set them off in the shade so they sort themselves out in a few weeks.
There are some good you tube videos out there that have some good detail too.
