I have this sarr that i got about 9 weeks ago (so it hasnt had a dormancy, i got it out of a garden centre) and there appears to be about 3 plants in the same pot, if i have enough soil/pots should i repot it with the rest of my plants, or wait until next year for it to be dormant?

Nice looking plant(s). I never seem to find anything like that at our garden centers. I potted up some large Sarrs I purchased from FTS together to save on planters and media. I know I will need to separate them at some point but I thought the coloring would look good together when they come up. I will most likely just put them in larger pots together once they come up along with some Drosera that will play well with them.

The main plant has sprouted 2 or 3 new crowns.

Are any roots popping out of the drain holes yet? If yes, then I recommend slip-potting it into another pot that's 50% bigger or more. Sarracenia have big root systems, so the more room, the better. If you've never slip-potted a plant before, then Panman made a great how-to post on the topic.
