I just got this little lovely for cheap at my local garden shop. The label says utricularia livida but the little plant in the middle looks like drosera capillaris (according to my amateur sleuthing).
Did I get myself two for the price of one? Advice on if I should split them and general care would be great too!

The carpeting leaves are the Utricularia. The Drosers looks like D. intermedia, but it is hard to tell. If it goes dormant during the cold months and dies back to a resting bud it is D. Intermedia, a very common sundew hitchhiker.
The care for both plants is the same, always keep the media damp but not waterlogged with low nutrient water, bright light, and research dormancy for the sundew just in case. No need to split if you dont want to, these plants can coexist perfectly fine
