Good job, Dan. Beautiful picture and plant. As I suspected, it was growing in low light.

Regarding the separation of the pup, my suggestion is not to do it right now because you probably have only 3-4 weeks of "warm" weather, if you're experiencing a mild summer. Separating them now will not give the plant sufficient time to recuperate from the stress before it get cold there again. Besides, this will simplify watering the plant. Also, after you bring them in for the winter, make sure you have a way to increase the humidity level around them, especially, if you are allowing them to grow inside, instead of letting them go dormant.

Usually, around this time when we were there, it could get as high as in the 90s, what with the sun around all day long! But if you've been getting overcast skies and rain, I can understand that it could cool down tremendously.

This just supports my observation that your plant could use more light. By placing it outside, you can maximize the light "intake" by the plant. Again, just don't shock it by placing in in direct sunlight right away. Move it in the shade first, then part shade after a few days, then after a few days again, into the full sunlight. If portions of the leaves show signs of sunburn, move it back into part shade for a few more days until it get acclimatized.

We used to live in a condo behind that popular bakery on Northern Lights and Minnesota. The street we were on was Lois Drive. It was just two blocks from West Anchorage High. Whereabouts are you?
