Here are some updates to my B52 and Green Dragon.
The first picture is my B52 bigger plants. They are now looking healthy and growing fast. It took 2 months for B52 to look good as this while A2 just took 1 month and DC XL just needed 2~3weeks.

I am impressed by the growth of Green Dragon. The root growth and vigor is comparable to any healthy non-red flytraps. The picture is a Green Dragon waking from intentionally induced dormancy. The new largest trap is about 1 inch which is almost doubled from the out of TC state of two months ago.

Fantastic photo of Green Dragon :!:

My outdoor Dragon is finally beginning to wake up from dormancy. I'm also curious to see just how big it can get this year. I'm going to be repotting my indoor GDs, feed them, then acclimate them to direct sunlight.

Thanks again for posting all the amazing photos

Green Dragon is a great all-red flytrap clone. It's a vigorous grower and has very nice-sized traps. Nice plant overall!

Thank you very much for sharing the image.
I did not know that this Green Dragon is one of the giant cultivars.
However, I can notice that this is very vigorous even compared with the DC XL or B52 in my growing condition.

You know there are many individual plants even inside one single TC tube. I like planting just one plant in one pot but it requires too many pots to do that.
What I did recently is to plant them all together in a large pot except the largest individuals.
Here is the picture of large pot.

The DC XL was pictured five days later than the rest of pictures. It just put out a new trap that is about an inch in size also.

On the left you can see Green Dragons and on the right, you can see a lot of Big Mouths.
