If you look at the first post of the thread you can see the growth difference in the last year and a half. Oh yeah, little secret I gave away 3-4 mature divisions of this plant before the most recent picture was taken.

Where did you purchase your pots and trays? Are they 4 inch pots? Should they be 6 inch pots. I like your setup. It looks tidy and moveable. I like the square pots too. They don't fall over easily like cups do.

EDIT:
Somehow i got two different posts mixed up. Another guy used these pots in a different thread. Got them mixed up. Thought it was this thread which is why i posted that link. My bad. Never the less they are still great pots.

Are you referring to me? I'm confused since my fly trap picture thread has been hijacked.

Boarderlib I was asking you about the neat setup you have. I did find some 5x5 inch square pots really cheap but that's not what you have. I'm looking for something affordable. I have a local nursery that said I can purchase that setup for 3 - 4x4 square pots/$1. and idk about the tray. Those might be good for younger plants but not adults right? 6 inch pots for adult fly traps?

I hope your setup helps you move easier. it looks sturdy/moveable, not like cups.

It's okay, my apologies for getting snippy. With the stress of having to move at home, and move the majority of the equipment at work around, due to new ownership. I'm a bit quick to jump the gun. The reason I've been trying to avoid being on here to much.

I get mine from http://www.greenhousemegastore.com the ones pictured are 5 1/2" square by 6" tall. This is my first year using them but they seem to be holding up very well and they are pretty cheap. I do use the 4" square by 5 1/2" high pots as well for drosera and smaller plants. The are the coex square pots. I also was using the heavy duty 1020 trays from there, and they hold up really well too.

So far the square pots have been a huge help with the move. Thanks!

I'm photo bombing your thread Borderlib with a photo of my favorite VFT.
MEGA traps from you. Two inch trap.
I will post a photo of the whole plant another time. It's huge and I am grateful for your generosity

Absolutely beautiful. All your plants look like they're in the best possible conditions. Hope I can get mine to look half that great!

Its all good. I probably over reacted as well. I was just a little bummed out that you didn't seem to care about my megatraps growth difference comparison. Took me 15 minutes of searching my old photos to find that older photo lol.

Btw good luck on the move it might be stressful now but it will be quite the satisfying feeling moving the last box of stuff into the new place.
