Interesting method to protect the rhizomes, squirrels? Do you plan to use the same process as those sarrs get much bigger and you wouldn't be able to remove the grid even if you want to without cutting all the pitchers off?

Yes. That's a Squirrel Cage. I can only take the one off the VFT's. The other 2 are stay in place but I can clean up without taking the cage off.

The plan is to let them live in these pots for years to come. The picture plants are 1 year old. I can raise the cage over the VFTs.

This is my small collection of VFT. I've bought about 6 plants that I've divided over the years and 5 I grew from seeds and 1 was a bonus plant, (I bought 1 plant but could see it was 4 babies put together and when I divided them the following year, I discovered another plant growing. I think they dropped a seed that grew.) I now have about 40 VFT growing.
