Hi I have a venus fly trap that has decided to kill all its traps, now baby ones are growing but they have some brown on them. I’ve let them sit in a bowl type of thing with enough water and they still are not growing properly! My nan who recently passed chose this one for me so i don’t want it to die.

Are you watering with distilled water? And what kind of soil is it in?
