Hey amphiron,
I'm not completely sure this will do it, but I've found that when I reeeaaaaly compact down the soil in a pot with my D. capensis (Bainskloof) it started to split into 2 plants at the crown now. The same thing happened with D. oblanceolata and a few others. However, the D. oblanceolata didn't do so hot this summer while I was away and now it is finally coming back, so that could be the reason...
that is an awesome pic! and exactly what i was going for, except, it'd be cool to have new growth points along the stems, almost like a nepenthes shooting out basals (that's what i meant by a multi-crowned plant, and i think your method will help me get there)
im beginning to think that my capensis is a 'narrowleaf' not a 'typical'.....i guess it will take longer.
I'm not an expert and this might have been said, but I think when plants get older the growing tip dies and they start growing from a new point. Plants don't really die because they can reproduce in many ways
