You need a deep pot 6"-7" minimum to allow for the longer roots.

My concern with small pots isn't the roots not being able to stretch out. My concern with small pots is that they dry out super fast. Combine that with the pots being black and you have a headache to deal with.

Some of my traps have sealed that way too, they tend to just open up again when they're "done". also, wow that Purple Trap is so beautiful <3!

and yeah agreed, deeper pots at least 6" deep would deffo benefit the plant :)

Toiletshorts thank you, other traps are starting to turn red/purple also

The purple trap turned purple in the shade, the day before it was green, I think my flytrap is a bigmouth since two of the traps are rather large

That would be cool, but most are simply typicals with some freakishly large traps. What company was our from?
