Steve, Fellas.
Here is a pic.
I had watched this plant in a local retail greenhouse for a couple of years before I had purchased splits from it ( plants are from the flowering parent) for 15 bucks.
I have no idea where the original stock came from.
This is a larger pup from the original split from a 3+- gal to 3 x 3gal split.
I used a Soilless mix with an Espoma organic Tomato Tone kicker.....to start. I used the Espoma I think because I was splitting some mini funkia, so used what I had.
For me, I will start most of my plants off with an appropriate organic fertilizer and then transition to water solubles as time goes.........And then possibly 19-19-19- or similar.
My trio of containers have now been moved to a warmer CFL setup along with a few other plants.
As TY had said.....How do you separate these plants? lol
When small they are so tight around the main plant.
I do know they are easier to separate when they are much larger.
