Repotted my typical which is my first flytrap that was in a very short pot and was super surprised by the size of the rhizome as it wasn't looking so great topside like what the hell

That's a great find when you're repotting a plant that you think is having issues. Give it some shoulder room, and look out!

Didn't measure them but I'd say they were about 11cm or so?, I got the plant from homebase in May and it grew significantly since then so it makes me wonder how old the plants they sell really are and shows how they aren't cared for how they should, believe it or not the tiny pot I got it in was only about 5 maybe 6cm deep! and not wide at all!
