Hi

you could wait untill the soil is fully dry and take the pot empty it in to your hand and try to shake the soil from the roots and seperate the 2 plants and repot them both....be very carefull of this as roots can break quiet easy

uuummm the smaller one im guesing is being overcrowded by the big one... so its not getting as much sun and nutrition... so repotting the plants would probably be good.. By feeding them... go out and buy fertilzer... theres this good fertilizer i got once for a garden and it was all natural like... fish remains pelets so if you accidentally put too much it wont hurt you know?

but ya... to repot them just take a small shovel and scoop out the smaller one then water it
