I just wanted to know based on what you see in the picture should I replant my Venus Fly Trap in a new pot and soil or should I leave it alone and let it grow. I bought it from Lowe's a week ago and it came in a kit where it was just a bulb and some soil with a plastic encasement. What do you all think? Should I replant it in a different pot or leave it alone? Attachments:

Personally I would leave it.

I'm not sure. That substrate looks suspiciously like a coco peat or similar. Personally I would re-pot in to a regular pot with proper substrate you can be confidant is right.The cube is also not necessary it will only cause problems in the long run. If you are in winter or going in to winter the plant will be dormant until spring anyway

I'm thinking about replanting it to. I wanted to leave in the cube until at least it got it's first trap. But I think I will replant it though. I'll use the cube for cuttings.

UPDATE: I took a look at it yesterday evening and it appears to be growing. I had it under a lamp in a room but I decided to place it on a table near a bright window to get real sunlight. I still wanna transfer it but i'll wait until the dormant period.

This is the dormant period. Flytraps shouldn't be growing this time of year.

Yeah I gave it some thought over the night and decided to take your advice. I did replant it.

It is also not a good idea to give your plant heat or supplemental light at this time of your year. It should be allowed to remain dormant until spring.
