I am going to show 2 cultivars that I feel are standing out among all my other plants in terms of vigor and rapid size increase.

First up Crocodile. When I got it in the beginning of April it was very healthy but over the next month all the growth died off with no new growth emerging from the center. I was getting worried. I sent matt a photo of it when I actually thought it rotted and died but he said there was still a hint of green and just give it some tlc for the next few weeks and it should starting growing again. Well he was more then right. 8 new traps emerging at once !!! Never seen such a vigorous growth explosion.

the other cool thing about this is there both growing under my 200w led grow light. All my plants under that light are thriving beyond thriving :)
