Can I split newly purchased calla?

Hi,

I'm cheap.

I was wondering if newly purchased calla lillies can be split into multiple plants. The pots sold at the local nursery for 10 bucks a pop have what appear to be clearly deliniated stems coming up, often 6 or more stems to a pot.

Some pots the stems are clumped closely together, others have a fair amount of room between the steams (I'm thinking this were 6" pots??). It certainly LOOKS to me like a person could easily split the stems apart into individual plants, but I am unsure how this would work with an aroid.

I've split "rooted" plants in the past of course, and I divided some dahlia tubers this year, but that's the extent of my experience.

Anyone else had success (or failure) doing this???
