If you have suckers or if you put down a leaf and new small plantlets have emergerd do this; knock out root ball, separate any single crowned plants and plant them into pots. A sucker is a plant that has grown out the side of an original plant but is small, carefully slice it from the mother plant leaving at least one inch of stem if possible, plant in soil less mix, moisten then place it in a zip lock baggy so new plant crown can produce roots. This will take about one to two months. Place in good light.
