Fingers crossed! It is planted in clay granules just under the surface so hopefully there's a chance it might throw roots from the plantlet bases and/or plantlet from the base of the stem.

Re: Composts again

Slightly off thread,but has coir been found to be a successful alternative to peat? Thanks Pine bark is certainly a promising peat alternative for some of the carnivorous species, mainly Sarracenia I believe. It might work fine for c&s? https://melcourt.co.uk/products/growbark-pine/ I've used a...
