Grower (Northern IL) bought flytrap at Lowe's (~4" across, 3.5" square pot, 3" tall, pure sphagnum). Out of dormancy, catching bugs. Repot now or wait until after next winter?
Pure sphagnum retains too much water, lacks aeration—flytraps often die in it. Switch to 1:1 peat:perlite now. Don't wait.
Good growing!
