Scott : I've grown most of the currently recognized pygmy species in the
past, the two species you have together at least for me were a couple of the
easier species to grow. I grew all my plants outdoors in a 50/50 peat sand
mix. even when dormant i kept the plants slightly damp.however my plants were
never really soggy even when in full growth. so to answer your question if it
were me i would just leave well enough alone and let them grow as they are.if
you decide you must move one of the species move the D.ericksonae as it tends
to be a little morre forgiving of disturbances such as repotting. just so
you'll have an idea of my growing conditions i live in the LA area of
southern Calif. well inland so my conditions tended to be on the hot dry
side, as anyone who saw plants can tell you they did very well.
good luck with your pygmies, in my opinion they are some of the best Drosera
