That's great looking! So healthy, dense and colorful. I hope my flower stalk has as much luck as yours :)

I decided the roots must be crowded in that tiny pot by now. They were.

Since there are so many of them, wouldn't they be happier if they were separated so that each of the traps has it's own growing room?

Looks like there are at least 7 plants in there.

Would they? I was afraid to mess with them too much because they're so tiny and I didn't want to drop or break any of them. But maybe I can gently separate them while keeping them in the cup and just kind of move the moss around them.

It looks about big enough to separate as long as each section has some roots. Separating all of them may be too stressful, but at least getting down to 3 clumps of 2 traps each should result in an improvement.

It just looks weird when you have that much pot space, and are only using a tiny percentage of the growing space.

Looking good! The divisions are growing well, and it'S amazing how their roots get so long! When did you propagate the flower stalk?

It does not really matter now whether you separate them or not, but when they get bigger, you definitely will have to :D

December 5th. The stalk started showing the little bumps just a little over two weeks later.
