FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I recently got a pot of baby flytraps from the FTS, and I was wondering if I could just leave them in the pot it came in. If I should re-pot them, when would be a good time?

edit:I was also thinking about getting a Drosera adelae. Does that need dormancy or can I just grow it inside?

It would probably be best if you leave them in the pot they came in for a year or so. Repotting them at this point, after they have already been transplanted into that pot and shipped, might set back their growth somewhat.

Alternatively, if you are careful, you can prepare a larger pot and put some growing medium in it, then invert the pot the baby Flytraps are in to try to get the entire soil mass and Flytraps out whole with roots undisturbed, place that on some of the growing medium already in the larger pot, and fill in around the soil mass of the baby Flytraps with additional growing medium to fill the larger pot.

Thanks for the info! I think I'll just keep them in the original pot for now. Don't want to accidentally kill them.
