I never purposely fed my fly trap live food. The left and middle were two separate plants that had both grew long flowering stems. The right most stem is one of the cuttings Ive made from those stems.

I only recently cleaned up the competing moss around the plants and read I shouldnt have let the plants flower to the point it had. Is that why Im getting a lot of leaves but stunted traps?
