I got mine from California already potted loosely not like orchids where they need to be pot bound. I got one rosette a couple of years ago and now I have four. I haven’t experienced repotting or dividing them because it still has more space for growth. Divide them carefully as suggested by Dante and put them in separate pots and spread them around your orchid plants. I see that the bugs are already being eaten by your plant. I also had to acquire it so bugs on my orchids at least get eaten by this plant instead of dealing with pesticides. Most growers use an open soil mix composed of some combination of washed sand, perlite, vermiculite, peat moss, gypsum and/or decomposed granite. Soil should be kept well drained, but watered regularly with distilled water in the summer (NY water has less minerals so I use tap water) and only very rarely once the plant enters its winter rosette. The species grows readily on well-lit windowsills, under fluorescent lights, or in warm to hot greenhouses. They are endemic to southern Mexico all the way to Guatemala.
