Content: Remove the soil until you expose the thick, white connecting root. Sever it as close to the mother plant as possible using a clean, sharp knife. 5
Dig down 5 inches in a 2-inch radius around the base of the pup. Work the spade underneath the pup and pry it loose from the soil. Remove it and fill in the hole to protect the mother plant. 6
Carefully remove one-quarter of the soil from around the roots of the pup. Hold it in the prepared pot so its roots touch the surface of the soil mixture. Back fill around the roots with the soil mixture until they are completely covered and the pup's leaves rest on the surface. 7
Place the potted pup under high, light shade. Shield it from direct sun for the first few weeks.
