venus fly trap, more then one rosette

Hi all

I currently have a venus fly trap, with around 22 traps, I heard this probably means I have 2/3 rosettes in one!!. I'm wondering if it might be worth me seperating them into another pot or not?

It looks like one rosette to me. You can usually easily tell when there are multiples. I try to buy those and then separate.

That's a really nice, healthy looking VFT! :D
Mine looked like that last year, until it started to decline in the fall. I should've known to bring it in earlier since it wasn't doing well, but I didn't, and I missed my timing to overwinter it properly. :(

You'll see little ones coming up from more than one central location when there are multiple rosettes. Give yours time and I'm sure it'll start growing -- hm... what do you call them for VFT's? They're called "pups" for succulents, and "offsets" for Arican Violets.... :?
