Hey all,

Due to an issue with the peat moss in my drosera binata multifada and cape sundew, I'm going to have to repot them. While repotting them, I noticed the roots are ridiculously long. They both used to be in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch pots, but the roots seem like they're starting to pool up at the bottom of the pot and coming out of the holes. I was originally going to move them into a 6 inch wide and 4.5 inch tall pot, but should I move them into a much taller pot instead?

Better to get something like a 10 inch tall pot instead?

Binata will grow in whatever you put it in. The deeper the pot the more robust itll become. My actual "specimen" plants are in 9-10 inch deep pots but ive had them grow nicely in 3.5 inch tall pots as well. Whatever you want to do with them

Very nice, thanks guys!

Also, just a question, does binata "spread" itself via roots, like does it grow outwards and grow into like new plants?

It can produce new divisions from the roots.

Moved the Multifada to a 10 inch by 10 inch pot! 50/50 peat moss/perlite and covered the top layer with some LFSM to prevent the rain from destroying the peat moss and flinging it everywhere.

The roots literally were like 11 inches long and EXTREMELY thick, despite the fact I only just got this plant at the end of last summer!
