Umm…have I waited too long to separate these two? Will it...

Are those spider plants and monstera together? I just repotted some spider plants that my partner brought home from work because they were in bad shape. The spider plant has tuberous roots but also very fine secondary roots which made it impossible to separate them (there were several in each pot and the dirt was firmly webbed in between the roots - I removed as much of the soil as I could but had to give up after a while because it was late at night but they seem happy with the new soil at least!). So depending on the soil, you may need to give the pot a really good watering the day before you repot and also have a spray bottle handy to wet the soil in order to try and separate the roots and soil. The monstera has thicker roots so hopefully won't be as much trouble. 🀞✨️πŸͺ΄
Go for it. They might take their time after the separation to bounce back but they look really healthy. They will be ok!!
Thanks @HappySelah25 and @cactii πŸ™πŸΌ. I’ll do it! Friday if it’s a nice day. I’m probably just overthinking it and feel I need my hand held πŸ˜…
😊 thanks for marking my comment πŸ† hope the repotting goes well!
