How do I separate my plants?

I have 6 plants in this one small pot, what is the best way to separate them into their own pots?

Should I try to cut into the soil?
or should I try to gently pull the stalks out of the soil?

any suggestions?

i would take a knife or something long and kinda skinny and carve out all 6 plants and all the dirt from the pot. Don't carve them out one by one or else you could strike some roots and stunt the plant. Its not going to be easy but next time a huge rule is 1 plant per pot.

When you have all the plants separated from the pot try to single each one out one at a time. Be very gentle and take your time. If it takes an hour or two, it takes an hour or two.

And fill your pots with more soil next time! But yeh when the soil gets a little dry you can cut it, or try to rinse it all out until you get the separate root systems.

I would acutaly just seperate them into 4 root clumps and remember not to make the same mistake again.
