I'm doing some early Spring repotting, and finally decided to repot this densely overgrown clump of Fine Tooth x Red Venus Flytraps. 2 years ago this was a single plant; now it looks like it has a couple dozen or more mature divisions. Several of them will be repotted into a "mother pot" (a large community pot nice and deep) for my personal stock and seed production, and the rest will be potted individually for sale later in the year at FlytrapStore.com. The disposable razor in the photo is just to provide scale.
Below is a photo of three of the larger divisions of the Fine Tooth x Red Venus Flytrap in the photo above, repotted into an 8-inch (20 centimeter) diameter polyurethane foam pot. These are planted in a sphagnum-free coconut-husk pith (sometimes called coir) growing mix, a 6/3/2 mix of 6 parts dry, fluffy, desalinated coir, 3 parts silica sand and 2 parts small pieces of evergreen bark (small "orchid bark"), measured by volume, not weight.
