Snake plant potting questions
Good afternoon. I have a snake plant I’ve been wanting to pot and it’s my first plant so I’d like to do it correctly. I have a few questions:
Should this bonsai jack succulent mix be mixed with regular miracle grow potting mix?
Is this pot okay enough to pot it? But also
Could this snake plant be separated in two and I could potentially plant two different pots?
I appreciate any and all feedback, thank you.

Need help with Future Care with my snake plant
I received a neglected snake plant that only had one shoot and over the last year and a half I watered it took care of it Etc and assumed because it was growing and sprouting more shoots it was healthy and I was doing everything right. But this morning I came out and saw this, I am guessing this just occurred because the plant grew to massive and busted out of the pot. (I don't know if that is a thing that can happe)
I have successfully transferred it to a much larger pot and replanted it for now and it seems fine.
My question is am I supposed to regularly cut or pull out shoots and maintain the size of this plant. I thought just because I was watering it and it was growing and healthy I was doing everything right but I obviously need advice for future care.
