Hello,
I posted the following photos earlier on the dutch carnivora forum.

At about the end of august 2011, i recieved a healthy darlingtonia clone forum Pieter (Lucifer from this forum).

A photo that Pieter made, just before he send the plant:

The plant is growing in pure peat, and seems to thrive in it!

That looks a very vigorous plant. Well done.

Very nice!

[carni grower]

hi, lovely pics. what substrate do you use?

[Alexis]

Looking good. Bear in mind that you'll never eliminate new sprouts emerging from stolons, so any darlingtonia will look crammed in its pot if it's doing well.
Just a point if you're worried about it outgrowing it's pot!

[Starchy]

I you are worried about the stolons causing the pot to bulge, you may want to consider more of a tray-style pot. If the cosmetics of the pot do not matter, many use clean litter boxes, or similar containers. Darlingtonia roots don't usually grow too low, they just love to branch outward.

Nice looking plants!

Very beautiful plant vigorous.

Thank's!
I use pure peat!
And a recently repotted the plant in a sqaure pot.
I cut of the two stollon plants and repotted them outside..

@ Starchy:
Some of the roots are about 18cm long!
