Does anyone know if my little Venus fly trap can be saved? I have tried misting more often and putting in sunlight when available.

I wouldn’t mist it especially if it’s in the sun it’ll get burned and they also don’t like tap water you can use rain water or I’ve been using aquarium water conditioner (api stress coat) with my carnivores and they seem to be doing good. Never had a Venus fly trap though hope you can save your little plant friend!

Thank you. I have been using tap water. I have reverse osmosis. I will set out a bowl for rain water

Yes, I sit mine in distilled water only.  
Tap water can chemically burn the roots.

No need to mist!  
Just add distilled or rainwater when the plant has drunk it all!
