# Got this Venus Flytrap a couple days ago from a kit and I’m really…

_Posted by Planta member on 2023-08-10_

Got this Venus Flytrap a couple days ago from a kit and I’m really worried I might’ve killed it already. I didn’t know that tap and bottled water was harmful for them (watered it with both) and now I don’t know what to do. It also might be in a dormant state atm but I’m not sure. Is there any way I can save this?
