A grower bought a butterwort in a "death cube" and found it had almost no roots, lifting right out of the pot. They wondered if this was normal or if they should return it.
Jacob Farin confirmed that butterworts have very short root systems, rarely exceeding an inch. What the grower saw is completely normal. No need to drive back for a replacement.
