Do I need to repot and separate my sun star plants? #happ...

So, happily, my sun start plant seemingly came back from the dead about 1.5 months ago lol. It came back looking super healthy and happy. But now I'm seeing that there are what looks like 3 separate plants growing in this pot (2.5in) and they are getting bigger than the original plant was when I bought it.

Do I need to repot this in a bigger pot and do I need to separate the 3 plants?

Also, will my sun star keep coming back or will it be more like most bulbs and live for a few cycles before dying? #SunStar

@CaringBluebill Welcome to the Greg community, you have a very gorgeous plant there. I found a website that might help you grow and care for it: https://www.ukhouseplants.com/plants/ornithogalum-dubium-star-of-bethlehem-sun-stars happy growing!
I wouldnโ€™t separate or repot if itโ€™s just becoming healthy again. Let it be until spring. It looks great btw and looks to have plenty of room in that pot still. Nice job!
I agree, Iโ€™d let it go until spring.

@KDkat3 @Superkma75

Yes, I think that's what I'm going to do. Thx ๐Ÿ˜Š
I think I may have accidentally forced it out of it's normal winter dormancy cycle by leaving it outside after the blooms and leaves died off.
So from the article that @Ms.Persnickety shared, because of this my current happy plant may not flower... So we'll see ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿพ

Thanks everyone for your help!
