If the 3 centimeter diameter plant were a natural division from a mother plant, its root system and rhizome might be more developed and it might mature in just one year instead of 2-3 years for full maturity.
The red Venus Flytraps like Akai Ryu usually do need more or stronger light to develop the red color very well, and those plants that are already red need the stronger light to grow as fast as greener plants, but often the red plants will not turn very red in lower light, and in those conditions, when red plants are more green than red, they seem to grow about as fast as other Venus Flytraps.
