Propagate or nah?  
My pitcher plant is overdue for a repot and I noticed these babies growing underneath. Should I use this as a chance to propagate this plant? Or should I keep them together?

I don’t think it matters too much? As long as you continue the water and light requirements it should be fine.

I would wait until  
They get bigger because it takes a lot of energy for them to make roots

If it were me, I'd wait until the babies were big enough to catch their own meals. But I've never researched it.
