In my case it means mother plant is going to die. Or won't grow because of some top damage. Lets hope my case isn't your case :)

O. trollii clumps at a smaller size, in my experience.

Indeed, they do. Here are three I grew from seed quite a few years ago. Having extricated them from the back of the staging during this weekend's marathon watering session, I really must pot them into larger pots, they have been in these 5 inch ones for too long!

Looks like mine is not clumping so early after all, in comparison.

Lovely healthy plants Tony, they don't seem to have suffered by being so cramped!
