Just a question about how much space Sarracenia need for growth. I know that they divide and create a growth points and wuithout enough room they stay below the soil and rot if not enough room. Just wanted to know if the bog below in the attached picture there has enough room and in general how much room do sarracenia need. One of the pictures is one set up with more room and another is one with squares that show the place where new plants can go in. Is there room in both cases of the bog set up Thank you so much for the help. It is much appreciated to get help from people that have been growing for a while.

You'll be good for a growing season or two, but your bogs will get overcrowded sooner or later. The psittacina will take up a decent amount of space, since it grows prostrate, it will form a rosette maybe 8-10 inches in diameter. You can probably control the space required by the flava and the mitchelliana (?), if you remove divisions every Spring. Same with the VFT. A happy flytrap will also aggressively divide and spread.

Wow you could tell it was a mitchelliana that is really cool you could see that! So would the first picture be enough room for a few seasons and the second one with the squares just not enough space if plants are placed in there

Yep, you have a long way to go to worry about space. Leave it to when they are crowding and blocking each other's light.
