Is ready to take this hobby to a whole new level
Normally I would just look the answer up in the search function, but it is a bit different. My N. Spectabilis sent up a basal a month or two ago, and now it has grown quite a bit. The mother plant is steadily declining, so I feel it is probably time to split. The leaves on the basals are growing, but the leaves on the mother are getting smaller. The question is, a week or two ago, another basal popped up next to the older one. I feel this one is yet too small to split. Do you think I can separate the bigger one and leave the little one attached safely? If I separate these basals, will I lose the possibility of the mother plant producing more in the near future?

Maybe keep your eyes open over the next few weeks for a basal trade on the trade forum...
