I use the exact same pots for almost every dew. Expect, Multifidas or any other deep pot loving dew. I find dews don't really mind their roots coming out the bottom of pots compared to other plants.

That's what I want to do. I have a bunch of different pots of drosera that it is not very space efficient. Would it be wide enough for them?

Do you mean except not expect? If you mean except how deep should the pots be?

I sure did. My Extrema had roots coming out of a 5" tall pot within months. However, don't overthink it. It grew just fine and would continue to in the pot. You can always just snip the roots coming out the bottom and propagate with them. Most dews will do fine in these smalls pot IMO.
