Tiny Darlingtonia roots normal or unhealthy plants?

One to two roots each long and comparitively small to the plant.

Looking for any drosera capensis via seed, pm me!
I'm interested in any sundews.

I really don't have much experience with them, but they seem to not develop a whole lot in terms of a root system.

This is an example of one of my Darlintonia plants. It grew from a stolon over last year. I potted these up last month. Here's a picture of its root system and stolon included

That looks about right proportional to the size of my seedlings, thank you! They are about as long, but not as thick!

Healthy plant BTW!
