OneWindow, your plant looks really tight/smushed in the pot. Are there some roots attached to the parts leaning out of the pot? If so, those should be able to be separated and potted up. I would also repot the rest of it. If you separate about half of it, that should be more than enough to put back in this same pot. Sans need a little room in the pot or the pups (new rosettes) will have a much tougher time finding/squeezing their way to the surface. The more space there is, the more pups they will make.

When the temps are lower, very little water is needed. Be sure to let your Sans dry out well before watering again during winter, then also make sure no excess water stays in a drip tray or outer cache pot. The extra water needs to drip out of the pot, away from the roots, or the roots can rot.

Hopefully your plant will look like these under the surface, full of plump healthy rhizomes, new pups.
