I was going to do an experiment and let a few of my vfts only experience indirect light. I felt bad for them and removed the setup later that day.

BTW, all of these are from 3 plants that I bought 1.5 years ago. There are 7 more in an undrained pot experiment.

Adam that is a great looking pot of vft's almost like a fly's version of a mine field,

A second chance. But redemption follows not a change of body, but a change of heart.

Very nice plants you have there. They need some more room, I think.

I am sure the plants are fine. They all look very healthy and VFTs have very simple roots that grow basically straight down, so crowding is only an aesthetic issue rather than a plant health issue.

Personally, I like the look of a crowded pot, so I say leave it.

I'm trying to get them even more crowded. I'm not repotting for another year and a half. These guys will be huge next year. Lots of sun on my south-facing deck

Nice looking pot of plants Adam--I like the overcrowded look as well and my VFT's that are grown together do very well.
Great picture too--Maybe a nominee for the CP Awards!
Thanks for sharing.
Peace!
