Venus Flytrap Rhizome Growth: When to Repot and Seasonal Trap Orientation

Natural Rhizome Behavior

Dionaea rhizomes naturally grow deeper over time. Wild plants exhibit the same habit. No need to repot solely for this unless the pot is crowded or the medium is breaking down.

Seasonal Trap Posture

Early spring and fall: traps hug the ground. Mid-summer: traps stand upright. This cycle is normal and unrelated to rhizome depth.
