First time VFTer here and I need any help I can get! I bought her with a long flower stalk so I let it bloom. Well now that it bloomed it’s dead and turning black. Is it safe to assume I can cut it off now? The rest of the plant is getting kind of leggy and stringy looking…is this normal or do I need to intervene? Typically I bottom water frequently with rainwater. Yes, I’m currently using a cake pan 🤦🏼♀️😬
I’ve always read to cut the flower stalks before it even blooms as that takes a lot of energy for them to make if it’s a young Venus fly trap. To simply answer your question, it’s fine to cut it, even the dead traps! You may need bring it closer to the window tho.
