If the plant is potted, you'll first need to free it from the confines of the pot. If the plant is rootbound, you may need to cut the pot into order to do so.

With the plant laying on a sturdy work surface, feel around with your fingers to identify each individual plant or plant clumps.

Pull the plants or clumps apart or, if they're really stubborn, you can cut them with your pruners.

It is possible to encounter a plant that has no obvious clumps. When this is the case, it is sometimes easier to just cut the plant in half or quarters, creating a clump.

Once you have divided the plant, cut back the foliage so it equals the volume of roots on the plant.

To pot the new divisions, fill a pot 2/3 of the way full with gravel or heavy soil and place the new division into the planting media that you've chosen.
