Along with dividing my Heliamphora nutans today, I also did my Heliamphora minor X heterodoxa that I got back in late December. It has grown well, but it's not as colorful nor has it developed the nice nectar spoons that it had when I got it:

My guesses as to why it's not developing the color and nectar spoons are:
1) The lighting I'm using isn't as good as what it was under.
2) The fertilizing makes it so that the plant doesn't need to develop nectar spoons and color to attract insects because it's getting all the nutrition it needs from the soil.
Anyway, here are some photos of the dividing and repotting process.
