This is my Venus Flytrap collection as of the summer of 2017. It started in 2012 with a single flytrap and has gotten kinda out of hand. First picture is a 30 inch pot of typicals. I grew these plants from less than 10 original plants purchased at Lowes. They were TC plants that had multiple plants per pot. I took them out and planted them separately. I bought a single flytrap from a local nursery also. After three growing seasons I had quite a few pots full. This spring I dug everything up and planted them in one big pot. There are a few seed grown plants scattered about in there too. More on that later.
About clay ceramic pots. Some I've always read that clay can leach into the soil and harm carnivorous plants, I cover the inside with a spray on rubber coating. I use Plasti Dip brand. It is toxic when wet but dries to a food safe and thus plant safe inert coating. It has worked for flytraps and Sarracenia for me.
