Please can anyone advise if this is 2 plants, or 1 plant that I could split? Thank you

I'd divide that.
You might need scissors to split the roots.

The only way to find out is to unpot it and see. They do tend to produce stolons which grow new leaves, so may well be attached. However, it is planted in dreadful compost, and would benefit from a larger pot and a gritty potting mixture of JI2 or 3 with plenty of grit.

I would shake all the compost off and see. I have cut them into two or three sections with a bread knife before now. They usually repot quite happily. I use a compost suitable for succulents.

Thanks all. I only bought it yesterday and was planning to re-pot, hence the question. I’ll prepare 2 pots in that case!
