Den kingianum
It's now in flower, but the plant has grown too big over the years.
I'll try to divide it, but dens don't like to be disturbed, do they?

Lovely! I have the more common purple one. I thought that the kingianums, in particular, really like to be pot bound. I've seen really huge ones! I plan to move mine into a wire basket filled with lava rock next spring so that I don't have to worry about the medium breaking down.

Lovely!
I know some Dens don't much like being disturbed - don't know about kingis, specifically (haven't divided mine). They are pretty hardy buggers, so may not be fazed by dividing

The plant grew big, 2 feet in diameter, but the pot is very small (12 cm, less than 5 in.)
I`ll try to divide it soon when it resumes growing because I have no room for such a big plant.
Thanks for the comments!

Wow! I don't know about repotting it, but it sure does look happy! It's really pretty! Very Well Grown!

How about repot the entire plant into a bigger pot, so it will not be disturbed but still be bound and have a very prosperous bloom year after year!

It will be fine being divided. It's not way to big, but it is getting some nice size. I think it's a nice plant but it depends on your space I guess.
Thanks for sharing, you are growing it really well.
