Hi!!
I hadn't paid much attention to my Ceph lately (since it seemed to be doing quite happily on its own), but yesterday, when I examined the plant carefully, I realized that it had grown two plantlets near its base. Now I don't know if you call these plantlets - they're basically new crowns coming out of the soil, independent of the main plant.
Does anybody know what's actually going on below the surface? Do the babies share the same root system with the parent? I heard Cephs need good air circulation, so I thought it might be a good idea to separate the plantlets and give them pots of their own, but will doing so possibly harm them?
I'm totally new to these plants, and I'd appreciate any advice. thanks!! Leo
