My Sarracenias have been growing like crazy. My friend thinks I should repot and divide them, but we are well into Spring and I don’t want to stunt their growth. I’ve read it’s better to wait for Winter when the plants go dormant. Also, should I cut off brown and hardened flower stalk and pitchers. Any advice would be appreciated. I’ve included pictures for reference. Thank you!

I agree with you, don't repot and divide right now, I would wait until Winter or early Spring.

They don’t need repotting or dividing yet. Wait till spring when You will be able to see the natural splitting points, or just repot and let them get bigger then split the year after when the rhizome will be more substantial.

Those plants are in no way in need of repotting. It's best done in late winter / early spring just before the plants start to emerge from dormancy.

There's no need to split those plants anytime soon. They can remain in pots that size for several more growing seasons.
