I have had this Venus flytrap for a month and all the new leafs that are growing are tangled and there is 3 on top of each other. Is there anything I can do to stop them from growing on each other

That’s just the way they grow, I see the same thing with my flytraps too

Same happens to mine. It’s normal, but if you don’t want that you can trim them. However, I would recommend you snip off the stalk that’s growing so nutrients go to the traps instead of letting the stalk flower

It’s normal!! That’s how they grow in the wild!
