UPDATE:

I recently repotted my plants into several different containers in attempt to organize them by cultivar. The organizing part failed miserably because I was a little disorganized in their first potting, but they do look much more cozy and easily observed separated. However, during the process I discovered several more babies (4 total)!! They're either Dentate or Big Mouth; I'm not sure haha. My total comes to 16 plants in all!

Wow, more plants! I'm so envious of you! :)

Do you keep all your plants on your window sills? If so, how much sun light do they receive?

Haha thanks! :) My fault for not seeing that the gangly plants with clustered traps were actually several smaller babies.

Yes I do grow them all in my window sill! I currently live in a "concrete cell" dorm room suite in college and that is the only window in here. It is also by the air condition, which, in combination with nightly fridge naps, I utilized for dormancy. The window faces southwest so I keep them on the left side of the window so they can receive more light. The setting sun light seems to shine longer than the time it takes for the morning light to go from the right side of the window to the left. They get early morning twilight up until around 10. Then sunlight usually starts to shine through it between 11 and 12 and recedes when the sun goes down around 7 ish. Then until dark they get evening twilight. The cups they are in are small enough that I can also just lower the blinds and leave them there in window. So they receive whatever amount of light that actually shines, not including the street lamp outside. I don't think its close enough to the building to have any effect anyway. In other words, roughly 8 hours of direct light each day.

I keep two little schefflera bonsais on the other side of the window too, but I have to move them away from the AC after the sun goes down to keep them from drying out. My window is pretty full lol.
