As with most of the other Pygmy Sundews, the roots on this plant are extremely sensitive. Division has very low success rate as they do not like to be disturbed.

Generally, gemmae are planted in their final pots, but Pygmy Sundews can be up-potted, by "molding" the soil around the current pot in the new pot, and by transplanting them together with the least amount of disturbance as possible. Because Pygmy Sundews have a taproot, it is best to use a tall pot.
