    You will enjoy seeing your first tiny plants starting to grow but beware - in the nicest possible way, it can become very addictive!

    The best time is in early Summer Sue when the leaves are in active growth.

    This thread has been fascinating. Thank you everyone for such clear instructions. I will try next summer with my one and only plant!

    Hello Sue. It all depends on how big and congested the plants are in the plant pot. Once you have taken the plant out of the pot look for complete 'rosettes' and gently tug them apart and pot on into individual pots.
    I split mine (Polka-Dot Purple) a couple of months ago the way @Ladybird4 described. Will be interesting to try the leaf technique next year.
