I just put them into a bigger pot and my red has really responded and it standing straight up, no flowers yet but am crossing my fingers, I want seeds from this one.

Got a nice thick stalk with a lot of buds on the end though!

Where are you keeping your plants? How much sun do they get a day? I thought I was doing well with direct sun for ten hours a day, but maybe it's not enough for best growth.

I have a little ten foot by five foot area outside of my apartment that gets early morning, afternoon and late afternoon light, they are facing south and right now they get about 12 hours total per day and evening. this is one of Matt's plants, rain destroyed all of my markers but this one has divided and is three or four seasons old.

Ah, so they do get quite a bit of sun. Do you feed any of your plants?

Since they are outside the food comes to them, I feed my sundews sometimes but there are a bunch of small insects for them also. I am really proud of this plant since it almost died when I first got it due to my stupidity, I planted it and put it out into full light without acclimating it but it is a very hardy plant and has survived nicely.
