Welcome! @Joaquin. In late summer/early fall is what I have been told by a landscape engineer. I have some huge ones, really, really huge ones, and will divide mine in October or November.

Please take a moment to update your "Profile". It is most helpful to know your location. City and state are most helpful, but even your USDA zone is better than nothing. Your location would indicate the time for you to divide your plants.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

I agree with Ken. Without knowing a location it is hard to say when would be best for your plants. Usually the time frame is August to October, but that may vary depending on how soon winter arrives in your area.
