D.intermedia leaf cutting

My d.intermedia leaf cuttings have grown into a small little intermedia after 2 mths. I can see dew and have even begun to feed the little leaves small ants and mosquito larvae.

Question is, do these guys have roots coming out from the underneath of the parent leaves? When it comes to repotting them, when is a good time and will the roots be difficult to negotiate?

Many thanks for any replies.
 
I love intermedia, so easy with the leaf cuttings. Just wait till the main base leaf starts browning and you are jjust left with the new plantlets. Roots should be visible at that time. The roots grow from underneath, from what i have seen in my expierence. Good luck-Zach
 
Thought I would share a current photo of my D. intermedia cuttings.

Assuming you have temperate D. intermedia, I'd wait till they form hibernacula and go dormant before repotting, rather than disturb them now.
