Reply:I would dig them up and split them. You can use a knife, or the shovel. Depending on how large they are you could make four plants out of one. Don't be afraid, just one swift cut down the middle will do it. Water well after you re-plant them.
Reply:You can select one of the longest branches and lay it flat on the ground. Then mark and dig a hole under the branch. Lay the branch over the hole, pushing down on the branch so it dips down into the hole. Cover it over with dirt, leaving the end exposed. Water as usual. After a while, the branch should begin to root in the hole, (can probe with your finger without disturbing too much. When you see that the branch has rooted, cut the branch off from the main plant. Allow the branch to grow a bit longer, then dig it up and transplant the "new" plant.





Good luck
