Hi everyone, for the first time in 4 years I’m going to repot my Venus flytrap. I was wondering which of the 3 pots you think would be the best for an adult Flyrap.

The first one to the left is the smallest of the 3, and is about 4 inches wide and 5 inches tall. The middle one is also 5 inches tall but 4 and a half inches wide. And the last on the right is 5 inches wide and about 5 and a half inches tall.

They seem to do better in larger pots. I use a 6in pot minimum.

My largest pot 12in / 3 gallon

I Fing the wider and taller the better, it reduces temperature swigs to the roots and rapid changes in media saturation.
Cheers

FlytrapStore 5 x 5 Square White Pot 7" tall
These pots are probably the "gold standard" for a single flytrap, looks like the Flytrap Store has them in stock and it's rare to see them listed singly instead of 10 or a full case.
