I've been too busy with university work and I've kind of deviated to growing chillies. He he! Here's how my plants look like now - after my grandmother has been taking care of them. All of the credit goes to her and here green fingers.

This started as one and a half of another plant which I divided at the start of spring.

Now it's a bush. He he!

There is other dionea which is in a single pot that's rapidly blackening but I think it's due to being too dry. Will be getting up to health with it.

It's not much and not as exciting as other's plants but I love them and this community. Max respect to all of you growers and enthusiasts!

How do you grow traps so that they develop big traps, but shorter leaves? Mine tend to not make very big traps, but like to make longer leaves.

You have to give them lots of sun. These are grown outside 24/7. The short leaves are up to the variety. This is a regular but lumped together with its divisions.
