FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello, my purps have decided that either 1. They want to take over their entire container by creating an ever expanding blob of divisions or 2. They want to tell me that I’m doing something wrong. What should I do with this blob of plants? Should I just leave it be? If the divisions grow to big will it harm the others? Do the large amount of divisions indicate that I’m doing something wrong?

I see what you did there, bloblem. I'm with him above, trade or give aways. Share the wealth lol.

Give-a-way! Give-a-way! Give-a-way!

Either way, I'd ignore them for now and do whatever in the spring .

Awesome plant! Is that the Chipola Giant you got from Lee's?

Do y’all think that the divisions are big enough to be divided and shipped? Seeing the results of Carnies’ giveaway makes me think it might be time to put #3 in its place again…

Yes it is. I plan on ordering another in the spring.

I bought 3 of his S. rosea's in early spring, and they put on a lot of growth over the summer. At least one of them promises to be a giant. I can't wait to see what it does next year.

That is the nature of purps, they continue to expand outwards, from side growth, eventually, the centre plant(s) rots and the satellite plants carry on the process.
You will be OK for the foreseeable future, but get them split before the rot, when you do split them, obviously do it in spring.
