So this baby is actually what roped me into trying to grow carnivorous plants...  my question now, there appears to be a tiny second plant in there (2 o'clock, behind the bigger leaf) - or am I imagining things? How long would you wait before separating the two? Do you really only recommend repotting them in spring? Thanks, Karin |

Best to wait for spring repot - or separate off plantlet at dormancy and keep growing it while parent plant sleeps if looks ready.

...my advice would be to put it in a bigger pot and just leave it alone. Looks like a typical typical, why divide?, just let it grow. Good luck.

Why? Well of course so I get to play with it and then declare I have two. (and then probably cry over having killed them both). I'll leave it alone for now and when I get my supplies sorted, I'll decide about potting it up a size. I can't promise I won't try to winkle a leaf out to try and see if I can propagate it though  |

...whatever you do just remember that Flytraps (like most other CP's), don't like their roots messed with. It sets them back and sometimes they don't recover. Cheerio.
