Hey everyone! I have my VFT for almost a year now, I believe it's been doing well and in about June or July a new plant started to grow. Of course it was very tiny at first but it's started to grow a bit more and, although it's still small, I think the main plant is in the way but I don't know if I should repot it already.

My family did not know that normal garden soil is not good for the plant so the gardener changed the earth and I had to repot it ASAP so it didn't die. That was around April-May so I was wondering if maybe now is too soon and it would hurt the babies. Also, since I live in South America, the seasons here are inverted so we are in spring, about to begin summer and I've read that repotting should be done after these.

I'll leave a picture so you guys can see the plant and maybe give me some pointers. Oh, also I was told that since it does not get that cold here it was not necessary to hibernate them so I didn't but then found out the refrigerator method so I also wanted to know if I should do that now or wait till the next winter (July - Sept 2019).
