A place to show your Venus fly trap divisions, seedlings, or any Venus fly trap.

I remember Ryan's giant outside VFT's at his house years ago.

I (with Sib's help lol) just made another 12" pot of Dingly Giant and Ginormous traps. Should be epic next summer.

Photos don't do this beast justice, having just seen it in all its toothy glory

So after rescuing my vft, from a hipster cafe, it's doing rather well. I think I have a healthy environment. And it has had three feedings of rehydrated blood worms.
The cillia, teeth, are getting red. And the stems also are red.
But the roots are coming out of the 2 1/2 inch pot bottom. And I don't know if I should try to repot it soon, or wait til it survives dormancy.

They don't need much root space. I wait till it's bursting out of the pot.

Well, a third root has appeared out the drain holes. I am very nervous about repotting it and stressing it out. Plus, I think it's split the rhizome, as it looks like a couple tiny sprouts at one side, from where it is growing now.
It's still in the 2-3 inch pot I got it.
Repot soon?

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

VFT's are not that sensitive to repotting or over potting. If the growth is over crowding the pot, it would be better to repot, but it's not critical.

 

[Reyn]

Thank you. It would be ok to repot soon then? So I get the basics of it. I be been reading up on repotting. But I think I will also have to split the rhizome. I can see tiny growth in an area where it looks like it's growing from a different side.

Ok. I can see a fourth root emerging

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Repotting is ok at any time. If the rhizome splits easily, that's ok.
