It's a 46x22x12 self watering pot that currently houses 2 venus flytraps and a drosera capensis. There's also some utricularia graminifolia but it's still acclimating.
I adjusted the light and around 300 ppfd reaches the ground and 600 ppfd closer to the light.
I do wonder if I could grow a sarracenia in this setting. Maybe a smaller species or hybrid not something giant like leucophylla. Any suggestions? Yall can recommend other plants as well. I want to fill up as much space as possible.
FYI I live in a tropical country so the temperate plants would be uprooted and put into the fridge late October or early November.

Yes
lol, no. not well at least. They really do best outside. Full sun, rain, wind and bugs. You might make it work for a while, but longterm, I wouldn’t.
Where did you get the pot
Sure, throw purpurea in there or something like scarlet belle. Both have the same dormancy requirements as your Venus fly trap.
Some might say you can’t grow them inside, I disagree, you just might need more lighting at some point.
Sarracenia want deeper dimensions as their roots want to grow quite deep into the soil.
what kind of light are you using specifically? I fear that it’s not enough.
