Back in late October during an emergency repot from bad sand.... I made my first leaf pulling. It was actually about 4 leaves with a bit of rhizome but no root. I have grown it only under lights with a little sun through the window behind. I'm pretty proud of the coloration so I wanted to share!

Thank you! I love that deep dark red it has. This was just a Lowes typical too. Certainly doesn't have this color on the donor plant that's outside, although it does have some pretty good coloration as well. This plant is hungry tho I can actually see droplets of nectar in all the traps.

Thank you! The donor plant survived as well. It's of course much larger. It is outdoors check it out:

Looking good! My Lowes (Botanical Wonders) VFTs didn't get any dark red until they went dormant. They're usually more like your most recent pic too.
