Break the old leaf into chunks with a few plantlets on each, taking care not to damage the network of fibrous roots, and plant each section into potting compost in a 10cm (3½ in.) pot. Ensure the plantlets are not planted too deeply or too shallowly in the new compost, but at the same height as they were previously. Water thoroughly. A light misting of water will help for a few days until the plants are established in their new pots.

Alternatively, plant the small clumps of plantlets into sections of a propagator, and allow them to grow on for a month or two before potting up. After a few weeks the parent leaf will probably wither and die.
