Hey guys! I got Audrey II on April 8th (during the eclipse, little shop of horrors hahaha) and he's looking a little droopy. I got him on amazon and he's been like this his whole life, just wondering if there are any tips on how to help him out!

How is his lighting? Venus flytraps need intense bright light. If they’re getting enough light, the inside of their traps turn bright red. Also, what type of medium is he in? Carnivorous plants need special low nutrient medium. I use sphagnum moss for all my carnivorous plants. He also needs to be sitting in a tray of distilled water or rain water at all times.

I use sphagnum moss and he is in a tray of water. He's currently under a grow light, but I can definitely turn up the intensity if that will help! thank you so much!
