African Violets and Gesneriads: Dividing Strep, 0 by nannanavarro

Early this spring (early March) I bought two strep plants. They are very healthy and beautiful and have been blooming the entire spring. I noticed they are getting very crowded with severly crowns in each pot. I potted up to a 5 inch pot this morning. (I bought them in 4 inch pots). I was curious about their care and so went on Violet Barn sight. Rob suggests dividing the crowns. He has a wonderful picture tutorial about the process; but I was wondering if any of you have acturally divided a strep and how the process went for you. Were you sucessful and would you recomment it.

Here is a picture of the two plants in question. Hopefully you can see how many new leaves there are in the center.
