Here are a few seed-grown plants in my collection:

Cross-pollinating your little monsters can have very satisfying results. The biggest traps on these plants are 1.5 inches / 4 centimeters across.

Very nice, Mike!

How old are these plants?

4 years, maybe 5.

They're overdue for repotting. The first plant is still in a dinky 2.5-inch / 64-millimeter pot, and the other two are in 3.25-inch / 83-millimeter pots.
