Agree with PR. Not for very long. If they are babies now, they could for awhile, but the longer you wait to separate them, the more tangled up their root systems will be and difficult to separate. Even in a five gallon pot -- you would be way better off to give each of them their own two gallon pot than to have two of them in a five gallon pot.

So you divided up the two plants then? Should be fine, keep them out of full sun for a few days until they recover and they'll be fine. Sometimes its hard to cull a plant but heck if they were the best looking of the lot then I'd do the same.
Question is...was the soil/growing conditions the same? Just inquiring minds wants to know? LOL
