FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

hi all, usually when I buy a potted vft from a plant store, they have long, thin leaves, small traps and are bright green.
I will take these home and try to acclimatise them slowly to outdoor/full day sun.
Most of the plant still ends up dying back, even during mid summer.
Today I bought multiple potted vft from the same plant store, this time having short thicker leaves, and a lot of very large traps, some being bright green and some very deep maroon in color. All with the same labels as the ones previously bought.
"dionaea muscipula"
They almost look like B52's as the traps are 1&half inches.
I don't know the conditions they were grown in before appearing for sale in the plant store, but when I came across them, the medium was very dry, indoors and in full shade.
I don't understand how they seemed to be thriving in these conditions?
I was even advised to give them bottled water and keep them in the shade.
Of course this isn't the correct information for growing vft, or any cp for that matter.
My main question is, should I still acclimatise them slowly to full direct sun outdoors?
Seeing as they look incredibly healthy already.
Thanks all in advance
