Default Pot size for neps

Anyone knows if pot size and depth is important for the growth of neps, given that the soil media is the same? Some planters says that growing neps in bigger pots are better than smaller pots bcos it gives them the space to grow bigger. One knowledgeable guy say that given the nature of carnivorous plant, neps tend to grow better and grow more cups if planted in smaller pots especially if they have more than one plant in a pot bcos they tend to compete with each other for space and growth and by having more cups, they will have more nutrients to grow well. I have 2 pots of nep grown with small pots but yet grows to 10 feet high, so ithe smaller pot theory might be true although I prefer bigger pots because they look nicer. Can someone shed some light on this?
