# My Venus flytrap doesn’t have any heads cause they all died off will…

My Venus flytrap doesn’t have any heads cause they all died off will it be okay without food  
Also I have it right up on my windowsill in direct sunlight so should my Venus flytrap bounce back?

It should be okay! My fly trap went through something similar but now she’s popping out new traps very quickly. Just be sure to keep the soil moist and keep the pot in a spot with a lot of sun/light

Often times they don’t need their traps to gather the nutrients they need. The traps just provide an additional way to source it since they often thrive in nutrient poor environments

Okay thank you I’m relieved

sometimes heads will fall off after they’ve eaten a number of times !! they’ll usually grow back !! as long as your Carnivore has plenty of water, they should be fine til’ their heads regrow ^^

I could also be going dormant and that’s why it’s traps are falling off
