Question
Hello sorry to bother you again. I have a question I bought the colorodo gaint Venus flytrap last week how long can I keep it in that pot? Can I keep it in there until next years spring or should I repot it this year? It is in the medium 3 inch pot still
If you want to repot it into a larger pot this year, you can do so. It's still early in the growing season. However, if you want to keep it in the original pot, the plant will be fine in it through next spring. So either way, the plant will do just fine. It's mostly up to you if you want to keep it in the smaller pot or put it into a larger one for aesthetic reasons.
Good growing!
