Ever since I started with VFTs a few years ago, it has always been my goal to have a big pot or 2, at least 12" wide, overflowing with Venus flytrap of my favorite cultivar. I'm still quite a ways away from that. I know one solution is to get a big pot, put a VFT in it and just let it fill it on it's own. The problem with that is the expense in LFSM. I currently have the main plants in a 5"x5" x 7" tall pots. I've been dividing the mother pots and putting the extras in smaller pots so as to maximize the space between each rhizome. I figured I will save considerably on the media over time if I let the smaller rhizomes grow out in smaller pots.
I know the ideal pots for VFTs should be tall for the rhizomes to reach their maximum sizes. My baby grow out pots are about 3" tall and I'm wondering if this would be enough to at least get them to a decent size. Coming from the taller mother pots, a lot of the small rhizomes that I have put in the small pots already have roots longer than the small pots.
The cultivars I'm considering for the showpiece pots are Low Giant, Big Mouth, Jaws, Trev's Dracula, or Royal Red.
