When do you guys repot the divisions? I wanted to separate out the divisions from these plants so I could encourage more divisions. I've included pictures so you could see sizes. There's three separate plants in each pot(except the wacky one, there's two) If I transplant, they'll be fine right? I'll likely wrap the extra divisions in live lfsm and then pot them in peat/perlite. Is it safe? Too risky?ImageImageImage

They'll be fine, right now (Spring) is generally the best time to repot flytraps when their new growth has just began. Peat and perlite should be fine.
P.s. Looks like there may be a lot more than three flytraps in some of those pots :D

I can't wait to take them apart. I just have to find a way to keep them separate from my other plants in the big pot I've got. I've got 10 divisions from the 'potless waterfall' I won in the auction. There's a UK sawtooth ll in there and a.....um.... hm... sd draco as well. There's still space for them to grow.

I only separate them in the spring and only the ones that freely fall off the main rizhome.

IMO I wouldn't touch your plants at all until next spring.

I don't see how it would be harmful to separate the plants right now, as long as they readily come apart. Just seems like if they're still coming out of dormancy now would be a good time, since they might get a bit crowded for space as the year goes on.

I'm willing to bet that most those divisions haven't separated from the main rizhome yet.

Instead of disturbing the plants it's my opinion that Cross should leave them be until next spring.
