help! my venus flytrap was thriving until i left for a vacation for 4 days. i assumed it would be ok because it only needed to be watered every other day (according to planta). i came back from my trip, watered it, and it started dropping this morning like this. it happened so fast. does anyone know what’s going on? edit: i also repotted the plant yesterday
Carnivorous plants love water and full sun. Its usually best to keep them sitting in distilled water in full sun.
3 J'aimeDid this happen after repot? Plants can get stressed after a repot, keep in sunny place and top up with water once the surface soil is dry
3 J'aime yes i repotted it yesterday and then it just flopped over
1 j'aimeIt may just be stressed, pop it on a sunny window sill and just keep topping up with water. Carnivorous plants like the Venus are very sensitive to changes in their environment

Did you too water? The traps don’t like to be wet, only the roots so it’s best to bottom water in distilled water.
