I received several divisions of VFTs today, some large plants and some small. The smaller types were broken into several tiny divisions. I had nowhere near the amount of pots I would need if I planted them separate so I planted each group in and individual pot. However, some tiny plants were so dense it was difficult to plant individually so I clumped the roots together and planted them as a whole (I even had to chop off some leaves on a few). Is this OK to do or would they survive better if each division was potted individually. I'm not necessarily looking for record breaking traps right now but simply getting them accustomed to their new environment and showing signs of new growth.

Potting clumps of vfts

The plants have already been divided so I was basically taking 5 or 6 separate plants and repotting them with the roots clumped together. However if it's the same as you mention I should be OK. I'm just a bit worried about root rot. Any thoughts on skipping dormancy and trying for new growth over the winter months? I kind of regret buying these so close to the end of the growing season.
