There's got to be a few green-fingered residents here...

I have a 'Silver Torch' Cactus (Cleistocactus Strausii) which I have had for about 15 years. It's a good couple of feet tall now and has split into about half a dozen similarly sized forks that all meet somewhere under the soil.

The question is, can I safely split it into several chucks without killing it? If so, is there a specific way I should do it?
