When to divide plantlets?

[lme1216]

I have little plantlets that have started growing from the center of this leaf, so they have no roots. Should I wait until they get very large, or should I separate them while they are tiny? I also have some growing behind the leaf - those should have roots, and won't be as hard to divide.

The pot is a 3 oz solo cup, about 2" in diameter. The leaves are still smaller than a dime.

I personally do not like to divide my African violets until the leaves are at least the size of a nickel. I know alot of people will divide when the leaves are about the size of a dime.

I like to wait longer so that they have a larger root system.
Works for me after 1000's and 1000's of divides over the year.
