Just got these Venus fly traps yesterday from Walmart! Hopefully some sun can help with their droopiness. Any tips are appreciated!

I have one. They dry out really quickly. The arms die off after trapping 3-4 times so don’t poke them unnecessarily. They are fairly delicate but if you cut off the part that dies back, new growth occurs

I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks!

I don’t know if it’ll perk back up again after being droopy, you might have to wait for new growth

Good point! I’ll post an update in a few weeks, if they don’t die 😅

The app has helped me keep it going re watering and misting. Good luck!

I bought one about a year ago. He’s still growing strong! I was surprised. It even flowered and seeded!! It needs high humidity. And I feed it this once a month at the most. It takes a lot of energy for them to eat so if they are looking weak, back off in the feeding.
