I don't know where SnowRose is...............but I was told to let the leaves on a standard get as big as a nickel before moving in any way...........on the small ones, i was told to just let them overflow the pot before separating.............on the variegated ones i was told keep them with the mother leaf as long as possible................then when I did plant up my first babies last week, I scooped out gently with a spoon.............then gently started separating all the babies in a row...........when I put them into the smallest pots I have (one 1/2 ") I used the wicking mix but left lots of room around the baby plantlet to put in some of whatever they were rooted in...........to give them something familiar ................i still have mine under plastic..........just opened yesterday..........to give each one a fighting chance at life...........

maybe Snowrose will come around and help..........this is as new to me as you...........I won't start separating this until there is no room in the pot and a little longer then.......
