If you grow your own, it will reach a maximum size of about 13 cm (5 inches) in diameter. Mind you, that is the size of the entire plant! A single leaf trap may be a tad larger than 3 cm (1 inch) in length. A plant in marginal conditions will have about 4 to 8 traps on it at any time. This is also roughly the size of a wild one but they can get much bigger.
