Here's a simple and easy way to separate musella pups from the mother.

Wait until late Fall, before your first frost. Dig up the whole plant and chuck it under the house and forget about it until early Spring. In Spring, retrieve it from under the house (or garage, basement, etc.). They store so well it's not even funny. At this point, you will have the entire, rootless plant in front of you, and you can snap the larger pups off. Don't bother with the really small ones though, as they are kinda iffy on whether or not they will grow roots. After your done, stick the mama back in the ground and stand back. They start growing almost immediately.

Of course, for those in frost-free (or nearly frost free) climates, there would be no need to put it under the house. You could replant it right away.
