Mid-summer peak.

This is in a 2' x 2' assembly of flowerboxes; all traps are descendants of a batch of nine Home Depot rescues purchased May 2017, divided and re-potted yearly.

Thanks!

Success in my hands is a testimonial to the resiliency of these plants: I KILL tomatoes, cucumbers, and -- get this -- MINT!

"HOW" what? I can explain everything...

Wow, great growing! Nice flytrap clone, too .

Nothing looks better or as dramatic as a horde of fly traps like this. Very nice and unbelievably uniform as well. Great growing. Did you just divide and replant close to the mother plant?

Thank you.

I do a pretty radical division: completely separate each cluster plant into 5-10 individuals; spread them out quite wide to give them room. Some of the plantlets are tiny, but they all thrive once given their space. I do this in March just as they begin to green-up after dormancy. Uses quite a lot of New Zealand LFSM, and that stuff's expensive! Between my kid going to college and a large VFT collection...

I gave the plants a nice "haircut" to remove dead traps just prior to this pic.

Can you spot the wasp head sticking out of a trap? He was still alive when I snapped the photo, was like "dude, when you're done with the photo shoot, can ya' - like - get me outta here?"

Great pic Apgar! How many years old would you estimate you have been working off this mother plant to get this group?

Whoops, just went back and saw you posted the date already. Nice looking plants!

That’s pretty sick!

Imagine what it'll be in 2023!

Looks great!
