Will Repotting my sarracenia and vft setback the plants?  As the plants what I repotted this spring is not as good or as big as last year.

[Ian Salter]

I think the serious lack of sun this year is the culprit, a lot of the VFT here are poor this year and some of the Sarracenia are leggy.

Leave it to next spring. The weather has messed everything up. I've many leggy and/or deformed plants this year.

Yes its been bad for vftS outdoors.
Onegood indicator I have is my Dirk Venthams Giant. It has very clear dimorphic leaf forms. Only now is it starting to produce its long upright leaves and it has very little read colouration.
In contrast my Cudos are doing very well, normally outside the leaves die back as quick as they are produced so the plant remains small. Howver this year I think the dampness has meant the leaves have no die back and the plants are bigger this year. I even risked chopping up one of the rhizomes to get more plants and all sections are doing well.

I re-potted quite early, so they then got that nice sun in march,maybe that helped, most of my plants are looking happy.

My B52, although young, is only now starting to grow. It doesn't even have an open trap yet that's how behind it is.  On the other hand my Red Dragon is doing very well considering it's young and my Spider is incredible. See picture.

Down't get me wrong,the traps are red and I have the upright  leaves and even got some burnt nepenthes leaves lol. But the traps are only 1" long and S.red tube is not red.

Some sarracenia, especially red tubes, don't colour up as well the year after repotting.
