Ive got 11 of these growing in a 3 inch pot of sphagnum moss peat sat in RO water under a bright lamp. They are covered with half a lemonade bottle, heres a quick piccie
Beautiful!! And to think that these large adult bug-eating machines start so tiny. I mean that is a three inch pot and it makes those seedlings look super tiny. I wanna start some seeds.
I have found that my seedlings grow much much better if I feed them small ants, fruitflies, or gnats as soon as the traps are big enough. If you try that on a few and leave the others alone you will see what I mean.
That plant needs some dividing. Once it is in its own pots, the plant would grow much larger traps. Do give em sun, the only thing that upsets the beauty is the lack O redness.
MAAAAAANNNNNNN!!! Those are wicked!!! Niiiiiiiiiice! I especially like the second pic. And, in the second pic, I notice you have the same keyboard as me LOL

Looks great just the way it is. Would love to have mine clumped like that!
Personally, I'd unclomp it this winter. The way I see it, all that overlapping restricts the amount of light to the plant and slows growth. Also, it seems kinda lopsided and splitting it would help even it out. But thats just my 2 cents, I'm no expert.
