I have several Chamaedoreas that I've been growing in this pot since last year. They're getting too big for the pot now and they're fighting for space. Are these root sensitive? The species are C. microspadix, C. pochutlensis and C. tepejilote. The soil is very soft (peat moss) so my idea is watering the soil, breaking it and pulling them. Any other idea?

    My experience with C. microspadix and C. tepejilote has been that they're not overly sensitive to root disturbance. You should be able to pull them apart gently and pot them up individually no problem. Can I ask where you sourced the C. pochutlensis seeds?

    Wash the roots apart by gently pulling each stem apart from the others in a bucket of water,  Try to wash off the pot medium first.  I often let seedlings grow together until the second leaf.

    @Darold Petty has it right, you can hose the soil away and tease them apart. You may break a few feeder roots that’s ok chameadoreas are pretty tough. But I will say water them with seaweed extract for vitamin B stress relief after potting up. Use a well draining mix coco coir perlite and good quality potting mix.

    I brought the seeds from Jalisco near Puerto Vallarta.

    Some of these will hit the ground; C. pochutlensis and C. microspadix
