you have 2 choices: repot in the next size pot or divide it. To divide you will need a sharp knife and Root tone- not every one uses root tone but I still recommend it. To get the plant out of the pot you might have to cut the pot. Soil: a good potting soil mixed with Perlite at a near 50/50 ratio is easiest- thought there are many other recipes for a good draining mix. Clay pots (unglazed) tend to be better. Pictures will be good.

Sorry about the delay-here are some pictures I took earlier today.

Roots crowding the surface-

(next to the pot is a kalanchoe cutting that I plan to root)

Happy April! :P

The plant made it through the winter with little trouble. A few new leaves sprung up here and there throughout the middle of winter. I only watered once this winter (I was scared of rotting by watering too much), but the plant seems to be just fine. Nothing major happened-no pups tearing free of the pot, no pest infestations etc. :P

Going over the plant, I've decided that a division would be the best way to go. I'm assuming I'm going to have to cut some rhizomes in order to do divisions? If I do so, can I just repot them immediately after cutting? I plan on spraying some hydrogen peroxide on the cut wound to clean it a bit. I'm deciding between using 5-1-1 mix or 50/50 soil and perlite.

Thanks in advance :)

I wouldn't spray anything on the roots; what would that hope to accomplish? Haven't heard of anyone doing that here, I frankly I'd be afraid it might damage the roots.

If your intent is to avoid any rot, I'd sprinkle cinnamon on the roots (anti-fungal), dry & pot them also dry for couple of days.

I'd advocate 50/50 C&S mix & perlite (or pumice).

Largely agreeing w/ Tiffany's comments from Sept.

100% agree with Karen. Just let the cut dry a couple of days before reporting.

dry & pot them also dry for couple of days.

Just let the cut dry a couple of days before reporting.

I'm kind of confused-I know that after potting them up I should avoid watering for a bit to let the wounds dry, but should I pot them up first or wait for the wound to dry before potting them up? If I was to let the plant sit out bare-rooted to let the wounds dry wouldn't the root system itself also begin to dry up and dessicate?

Wait a few days BEFORE repotting. A few days will not hurt this kind of plant at all.

No, respectfully, I think you're overthinking this.

If you let it dry out bare root a day or 2, that is actually desirable.

The one thing succulents cannot tolerate is wet roots, it's an invitation to rot. So while the plant adjusts to change & the move, it's best to leave it on the drier side.

These aren't fragile or delicate plants, they come from hot tropics & their rhizomes are thick & sturdy, they can do fine w/out water for some time. Their thick leaves provide the same water storage ability in times btwn rainfalls.

You can also dust with a rooting hormone such as root tone. Let dry is the best advise, but I have at times been too busy to wait and just dusted with root tone and then just kept on the drier side, of course I only do it this way when it is reliably warm. When it is hot, Sans can take a lot of water if they don't stay sodden. There are some varieties that are more sensitive (or more valuable) that I would not recommend dust and plant method, But the picture shows a common variety that is usually pretty tough. As Karen said don't over think it.
