divide, repot, leave? what do do with my large catt
I was gifted a large noID catt a few months ago. At first it was rather dormant, but after adding some supplemental lighting it sprouted new roots from a section of the plant that hangs out of the pot. My question now is what to do with it?
The simplest option, other than "nothing", seems to be dividing that section of growth. Depending on where I make the cut I could easily select 2-4 bulbs (4th without leaf) for the new plant, but I'm still new to this and apprehensive about unnecessary cutting. Of course, repotting/re-centering the plant sounds like the least pleasant option at the moment, due to its size.
Also, with regard to dividing, I wonder how it would affect the remaining plant. It clearly has many leaves and back bulbs, but it would be losing its newest growth. And the other two young-ish bulbs* it has are also hanging outside of the pot already, so new growth there would put me in the same position.
What would you do? Any advice is appreciated!
*One of those bulbs is on the opposite side of the plant from the new root growth and other is in the middle of the plant. Both have bud sheaths, as does the one with new roots, but the middle bulb's sheath began yellowing recently. I also discovered (and accidentally damaged) one budding root below the middle bulb today. The opposite bulb appears to have no new root growth.
