Also it is in distilled water

I had mine in sphagnum moss that had been rehydrated with distilled water in a nursery pot sitting on a dish that had a bit of distilled water in a bright spot, and would just refill the dish when the water was low . It would constantly bloom and had new growth!

#### Evi (◡‿◡✿) svarede den 2024-07-12

I gave it away when I moved to someone so not sure 🤷🏻‍♀️

it could be leggy from too little light, how much sun is it getting?

Just bought it yesterday but I put it directly in the window so I’m hoping that helps a bit

Nearly killed mine when I watered it with tap. The droopy traps are most likely going to fall off soon even if you water it will distilled water. They’ll start turning black and will not longer be useful. Feed 1-2 of the traps, put it in sphagnum moss, and let it get direct sun from a window. Trust me in 2 weeks you’ll see new traps coming in. Cut off the older traps once the new ones open. Keep those traps moist CONSTANTLY, never let it dry out or they will die. I attached a photo of mine just for reference.

Thanks you! I’m really glad I looked up what kind of what to give it. I’m pretty sure our Walmart was drowning them cause most of its traps were very sad. I’m also moving in a couple days so I’m hoping I can acclimate Veronica enough and put her back in her original box
