For red ones I'd go with either FTS Maroon Monster or Akai Ryu
B52 can be finicky in some people's climate for no apparent reason, another nice one you could look at is King Henry
Nice! But you're going to need more space soon for more carnivores

Alternatively, you could grow then outside if you have the space
The ones you're referring to are called Sarracenia Leucophylla, dormancy in these plants is actually triggered more by naturally decreasing light levels than temperature (mine went dormant in 80° weather) so a cool area is not needed for them
If you're asking for pot depth, six inches should be the biggest one you get, in terms of width, it all depends on how much the plant divides as vfts will readily divide if given the proper conditions
Nice! Maybe you could also try growing Disa orchids with them
and although they aren't orchids, Rhexia ssp look quite nice and I'm dying to get some Lilium Catesbaei one of these daysGreat! Sarracenia like to have wet feet during the growing season (so water trays are really important) and always want to stay moist even in dormancy.Really? Good to know!
Thanks.
I'm going to search for it and get one, then. Yay!!!
By the way, do they need to stay moist even during the dormancy?

Anything more than four inches. Oh! Almost forgot! Terracotta pots can sometimes leach salts into the soil so I'd stay away from them, if it's glazed on the inside then it's fine
No problem, I'm more than glad to helpThanks for the info!
