Thanks for showing this off. I'm usually very timid with my separations, but I'm glad to know they can handle some roughness when I get stumped trying to separate things. Also that wiggle technique is good to see.
Thank you for the video. I separated my sarracenias a few days ago. Very glad to see that I got this right although I don’t think I separated them down to small nodes.
I was dividing for the first time and ended up with two pieces of rhizome without growth points. I needed to find out if they will still grow, or if they go to the compost. I'm so glad you addressed this! I'll pot and expect to see some growth. Thank you:)
I have 7 Scarlet Belle’s that are 4 years old. They each have a ton of small plants/growth points. I’ve been finding out how labor intensive dividing these plants up really is! Doing it over the course of a few weeks.
If I may weigh in (not an expert tho): when the rhisome is small enough I break it, thinking that nature will determine which part will break off. If the rhisome is too big, I cut it to keep the ´injury´ to a minimum.
i split up my sarracenia purpurea rhizomes just under 2 weeks ago, how long do they usually take to start growing? they get plenty of sun and heat in my greenhouse and i water with rain water.
It’ll take a little time, our sarracenia are just starting to grow pitchers but some species grow before others - plants like flava and oreophila come up first and the others come up a little later!
You can! If your water is very mineraly you can still use it to rinse the roots but give your plants a quick soak in reverse osmosis or distilled water to clean off any minerals or salts
@@California_Carnivores Thanks for the reply. I bought the 6 plant bog kit in May of last year, so I'm contemplating repotting them before I set them outside for the season. The pitchers are doing really well.

Thank you from Normandy, France
Yeah people are always so worried...just break them apart. They're just like Iris!

Great videos! Is it best to break apart or cut. I guess breaking will better promote new growth when potted up? Cheers. Chris, Birmingham UK.
We do both and don’t see one having a greater or lesser impact on the plant. It is definitely less taxing on your hands to cut them apart though!

@@California_Carnivores can they grow new pitchers if theyre completely bald? i cut off all of last years pitchers to save space
@@Spunro yes! They grow new pitchers every spring!
Should you propagate if you relocate to a bigger pot
It’s really up to you! If you want to big pot full of them, then leave them together but if you do want divisions, repotting is a good time to do it
Am I able to use tap water to clean the dirt off, or will that hurt the roots?

Is it still ok to do this now (Easter)?
Yes!
Hi! This is before or after completing dormancy?
We divided them during dormancy, before they start to grow in spring
@@California_Carnivores thank you so much 🥰 I'm going the ref route since we don't have winter here and your content has been very helpful
