Welcome! Hello and welcome to ATP!!
I have no clue how to grow Breadfruit but I know it will become very large so it's probably best to cut one rather than try to separate the two. In your photo it appears that the plant on the left is beginning to form buttresses. Good luck and keep us informed of the progress.

Thanks greene for your response. Can i ask you what buttresses are? Is it something bad for the plant?

They are like extra roots that the plant grows to support itself as it gets bigger. They are a good thing. You can use Google Images to find "plant buttress roots" or "breadfruit buttress roots" to see examples. Thumbs up
