And you said you were not good with B52s.

Its weird. I have 3 very small B52's that don't grow. They aren't struggling in the sense that they are dying, they just don't grow. Yet the B52 I got from FTS is growing incredibly fast and its thick and meaty.

Low Giant and Big Mouth are the other ones that just don't want to grow much either. They aren't dying or struggling they just don't grow much. Maybe 1 new trap a month but when they grow a new one an old one dies off so they constantly only have a couple working traps at a time.

Yet all my other cultivars are growing like weeds, so much so that I worry I will end up with more plants than I can realistically care for.

The 3 B52's that pretty much don't do anything. They have been growing like this for about a year:

How old are those seed-grown plants?

I have no idea. I got them from FlyTrap Hunter.

I would guess under 3 years old because they didn't flower this year.

Most of my plants are young plants, only 4 were old enough to flower so far.

Leah said the seed grown were started in January 2017 so they are 1.5 years old. They are a lot bigger than the ones I planted last August.
I have some that are making divisions already

Nice growing!

Are the 3 B52s doing anything for you yet? If not, try repotting them in fresh media. My B52s looked like that for several weeks going into the growing season, and I finally figured out it was due to high mineral content in the lfsm. After a media change, they took off.

One of them is looking much better.

I doubt it's the media. All my flytraps are potted with NZLFSM and are all under the same conditions. If it was the media or conditions more of my plants would be struggling but it's just these ones.

Wow. Those are looking great. That's a amazing looking DCXL. Looks to have a bunch of divisions also. Very healthy happy plants!

Nice coloring on that seed grown. Might turn completely purple in the fall.
