NASC auction is OPEN!!

separating the group

hey :)

i got a sundew in a small pot with 5 growing centers, i add a pic (not that sharp, but what can you expect from a phone-cam?..).

now, it's been a bit ill when the winter atarted and i just managed to make it feel a bit better lately, so should i wait or will the separation make it grow and heal better? how to care for it after the separation? in short- any advice will be accepted gladly. :)

thanks!!

I would prepare as many new pots as you perceive plants, with a depression in the middle. Then I would set up a container of water and place the plants in that container. Then I would gently separate them in the water and place each plant in their respective new pot. Then I would top water each pot so that the soil media fills in the gaps. I have also done things like cover the pots and keep out of direct light for a couple days, so as to minimize shock. I did that with new plants received in the mail.
