Flytraps can do fine potted closely together. But the further you separate them the more light they'll be able to get and the faster they'll grow. I try to pot my flytraps far enough apart that their leaves won't cover each other so they can all photosynthesize the maximum amount of light.

I just keep each plant in it's own seperate pot. But they can be kept close together if you want.
