Dividing a 10+ Year Old Sarr From FlyTrapShop

[joossa]

Right around the time FlyTrapShop first opened more than 10 years ago, I purchased a S. x Catesbaei from Andrew. Ever since then, the plant has been an "Old Faithful" for me. Never has gotten pests and has survived many conditions. Always flowers in the spring and always grows a healthy crop of pitchers each year.

I have repotted it a couple times, but never divided it. After 10+ years of letting it do its thing, the crown has tons of growth points and is about 10in wide in diameter. If I wanted to divide each growth point, I could probably get 20 divisions easy.

I had to divide it this year finally and took some pictures to share. This thing was massive.
