Should I separate these?
#Dracaena would you suggest moving one or both of those new sprouts to a separate pot? Thanks!
5” pot with drainage

@Guy Patience is Key: Allow the pup to grow sufficiently and establish its own root system before separating.
Potential Risk: Separating pups can be stressful for the plants, and there's a risk of unsuccessful adaptation.
Check the Mother Plant: If the mother plant seems crowded (roots growing from drainage holes, pot bulging), separating the pups is a good option.
Pup Size: While some sources recommend waiting until the pup is 1/3 the size of the mother, others suggest waiting until it's at least half the size.
Ultimately, the best time to repot is when the pup is mature enough to thrive on its own while minimizing stress to both the pup and the mother plant.
