FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi!

A few days ago I bought my first carnivorous plant in a shopping mall, where it came in a mini-greenhouse container to call it somehow.
The fact is that when I took it out of the container I found that the pot contained in its turn another, even smaller pot, from which two long roots hung:



As you can see, if I leave a few cm of water in the outer pot, then the long root will be completely submerged. And if I put a plate under the inner pot, I will crush and submerge the root as well.

What do you advise me?
Transplant it into a new, larger pot where the root does not protrude and I can put the dish with water?
Is it risky to transplant it now that it has just arrived and hasn't yet acclimated to the Sun/heat?

Here in Spain the temps are 30C°~, and 80% humidity.

I am very lost, so I would greatly appreciate your guidance...

I would put it in the bigger pot. Fill the new pot with media and then take out the plant as a whole plug and put it in the new pot. The plant wont know anything changed.

The new pot is fine but im not a fan of any color other than white.

Then I'll go buy a big new pot (the ones in the picture where the ones included when I bough it).
I'll look for a white pot that can reflect most of the light spectrum.

Thanks for your reply!
