Can't believe how tiny Big Vigorous is.

Absolutely puny

Best idea I've ever heard

haha well if you say it is a good idea, it must be!

Better cut off all these extra roots too. no sense in having 13-14 inches of roots when a 2" pot is all they need!




*NOTE* for those of you reading this, WE ARE BEING SARCASTIC! haha

Mike, am taking a wild guess you had that in one of your styro bait buckets?

I can just imagining someone reading this and thinking to themselves, "Well! This contradicts everything I've read, but if two experts are saying this is the way to go, I guess it must be!"

*goes to flytraps, digs them all up, cuts off the "extra" roots, and repots into 2 ounce medicine cups*

I suppose that's unlikely.

Haha, yep. It was grown in one of the big bait bucket pots. I wish I would have trimmed off the dead traps before taking the pics, though. The above ground growth was quite nice and lovely too but each time I see these pics I it looks worse and worse.


LOL! Katya_Dog1! That is exactly why I added that! A lot of folks seem to think I know what I am doing and if they read that the wrong way, that could end up terrible lol!
