D. intermedia can handle pretty high water levels also which makes it easy enough to randomly give them a good flooding - in NC as a native species you can often see them submerged in water with just the tips of leaves protruding out all over. flytraphunter posted some photos of some near him a while back showing them all waterlogged
It got to be 95 to 100F last week for a week. My Fly Traps were not happy. They didn't stop growing but I got a few deformed traps and what seems to be burnt edges. We are back to a steady 90F and the plants are happier. That said my plants get direct sunlight from 7am to 2pm and then shade after that. I lost some leaving them out all day and night giving them a break from the afternoon sun. I let the water dry out.
The d. Intermedia I have grow right in water. The roots are in water and the plant seems to lift itself up out of the water.
