Hi, can someone tell me why this trap is growing like this? Is it something I’m doing wrong? I just got her a week ago from a Lowe’s.

It could have root rot?

### Panini commented on 2025-07-29

When did u last repot it?

#### Zai replied on 2025-07-29

I repotted a week ago when I got it. I checked for root rot but I guess it’s possible I missed it.

### Panini commented on 2025-07-29

Ah that’s what it is! It’s in shock from the repot.

### Panini commented on 2025-07-29

Give it a week or two and it should be okay.

#### Zai replied on 2025-07-29

Okay thank you! 🥰 do you think it’ll straighten out? Or will the new ones just grow better?

### Panini commented on 2025-07-29

Both
