I have two Burkei's planted in one pot (one three year old and one newbie), which is how I recieved it, and previously they had been sharing the pot quite nicely with no problems. However the juvenile plant has recently had a gigantic growth spurt, suddenly growing leaves 3 times the size it had been growing before, and its beginning to take over, and possibly cause harm to the larger plant because the large, new leaves are going to soon start pushing and bending the top part of it.
Now, I figure the best solution to this is to repot the small one into its own plant, but I'm just curious as to how well these plants handle root shock, or if I'll be able to seperate them at all as its quite likely the roots will be greatly intertwined. I'm also curious if I should do it now, or try to wait for dormancy since I hear people have better results repotting then.
I'll post a pic sometime soon so you can see what's going on.
