I have a Venus flytrap and in past summers, planta has prompted me to  
Mist it. This year, it doesn’t seem like it has a mist schedule. Did care guidelines change? Thanks!

I personally wouldn’t ever mist them as it can set off their trigger hairs by accident. They can only set off 2-4 times per trap before it’s expended all of its energy and turns black, I keep mine from drying out by having them always sitting with a water basin to wick moisture up
