Neo division question

[missmorbus]

I have a Neo Shutennou that didn't end up blooming this year, but it did make a bunch of new growths. One of the new growths has somehow come loose from the rest of the plant. I'm not sure if it somehow got bumped loose, or if this is a natural process of the plant. It's green and healthy looking and a pretty decent size. It has at least one root that I can see. I think the only thing holding it on is that its root is sort of tucked under a root from the main plant. Should I try to separate this growth from the rest of the plant and put it in a pot? Is this normal for Neos?

Oh, and I think it didn't bloom because I was letting it get too dry. I've adjusted my watering schedule and hopefully I will get blooms next year.

It's your choice, leave it in the same pot(tuck it's root into the medium) and it will grow and when it and the parent both bloom you'll have a nice display, or repot seperately.

I'd leave it. Bigger plants=more blooms!!!!

Hmmm...I am leaning towards leaving it because it seems happy where it is (and it takes up less space in my grow area ). Is this just how Neos naturally divide? One day I just picked up the plant to water it and one of the growths wiggled, kind of like a loose tooth. Its like the main plant just said, "okay, you're ready, get off of me and go make your own home".
