Question
QUESTION: Hello, I'm planning to purchase Dente fly traps. How many MATURE plants can I fit in a 6 inch pot.

Thanks!

-Barclay

ANSWER: Hi Barclay,

If this is something you want to let grow some, I'd say 10-15 plants.  You you really want them packed for effect, probably closer to 20 or 25, but they will be very crowded.

Good Growing!

QUESTION: Would I want to use plastic or terra cota pots?

Answer
Hi Barclay,

Definitely plastic.  Terracotta has some uses for particular carnivorous plants, but because of the porous nature of them they are nothing but trouble with Venus flytraps.

Good Growing!
