# Hi there, folks, I rescued a very sorry looking flytrap from B\&Q…

_Posted by Rosita on 2025-10-26_

Hi there, folks, I rescued a very sorry looking flytrap from B\&Q today. Hopefully I can give it a chance. Do you think I should snip off the leaves that are partially closed? There are some growing so I'm hoping it will be replenished. I'm in the UK so luckily there's no shortage of rain water for me to collect, but it's getting dark here and I don't have a grow light. What should I do regarding it's winter dormancy?
