So im a newish plant daddy, ive been really focusing on my carnivorous plants bc they’re secretly my favorite. But i was wondering when would be a good time to repot them bc i dont want to stress them too much by repotting bc the pots that are the next size up from the current pots is like 3 inches in diameter and roughly 3in deep

Well I’d say you have at least another year of growth, basically when the roots start coming out of the pot or if the plants look like they’re getting too crowded in their pots is when I’d repot. Additionally the best time to repot is during winter dormancy so that you aren’t disturbing any active growth.

I've got a pitcher plant in a 2.5 cont. She's happy. I'm wondering the same thing. I'm hesitant to repot her. Following.
