New to plants and my first one is a not-so-beginner-friendly Venus flytrap šŸ˜…. I got it in early February and repotted it about a week later. Now I have only one green trap. The rhizome is still completely white and firm, so it’s not rotting. I also have used only distilled water. Maybe sunlight/temperature is the issue? It is still quite cold where I live, about 30°F average daily temperature. Although we’re finally entering Spring season. Any theories on what happened or advice on how to care for this plant?

    Its too dry. They should be in a water tray with water 1/2 up the pot at least. These are generally also outdoor plants. They do ho through a "hibernation" period where everything dies off and they look dead. If its 30° where it is, it may be just going dormant.

      Thank you for your input. I’m glad to know I haven’t killed it yet šŸ˜­šŸ˜…

    Also when they turn black and die, it’s okay, it’s not the end. The plant is putting down the old for energy to grow the new
