Megatraps. I still have a hard time grasping how vigorous this plant really is. I got it it only had like five traps in a 4 inch pot. 9 months later, this is what I have in a 6 inch pot. Thank you FTS! I might just use a garbage can for it next year. Lol

Just wait until spring. Mine exploded in the spring, and then just went into cruise mode the rest of year. I hope you got some big pots. Lol

Well spring hasn't quite spring yet here, but the fly traps are adjusted to full sun again (fridge dormancy) and growing again. I do see signs of flower stalks starting so I decided to take a few pics.

The seven pots in the back are last year's fly traps and the couple in the front are from this year. No pics of the noobs yet since they are still holding the previous growers growth.

And always a favorite of mine, my Maroon Monster

I also acquired a Fused Tooth, Long Red Fingers from FTS and an Arch Angel and Wally from KK, thanks again buddy. All of which are doing well and will be full of enough of my growth here soon, at which point I'll get some pics of those.

Megatraps is an absolute beast! It doesn't color up the best, but boy it'll fill a pot quick. I had to give away divisions of it because of lack of room. I got lucky with the aesthetics of the sawtooth pot. Lol. I was tired of playing in LFSM so I just started shoving them in wherever they fit. It worked out.

Thank you for the kind words!
