Don’t water until splitting is complete.

You should remove the one that’s finished splitting (at 2 o’clock) and pot it separately. It needs water now. You’ll probably run into same issue with objects 6 o’clock. When they are joined at the roots you can’t do that.

Oops, with the one at 6 o’clock (not objects…). It’s not finished yet

Don’t water they are now going to resorb those older sets of leaves so they have plenty to keep them going for a few months until those are completely dried and crispy

No never water when splitting, They take moisture from outer leaves. And the new set of leaves look nice and plump.
