Hi plant people! This is a Venus flytrap named Seymour that I’ve had for like two years now. Last summer he died off completely but the bulb grew new traps. Since then he hasn’t been growing large traps or has been growing leaves with tiny buds where the trap would be, and has had browning on the edges. He gets enough light, is watered with distilled water, and was recently moved to a sphagnum/perlite mix that is more appropriate for his needs, but I haven’t seen any improvement. Could someone tell me what might be going on with him and what to try to help?

I’ve had a venous fly trap before but it sadly died, and I was going to try and get another one I was wondering if anyone has any tips on them!

Not sure what’s going on with this little guy (unknown sarracenia maybe a purpurea) just started withering away. Soil is always wet and under a grow light. My other sarracenias are doing fine. thanks for any tips!

I am growing a Venus flytrap and the flower has gotten really tall. I saw some things saying I should cut it off. Should I?

Are my flytraps getting too much light? They live under a grow light. They’re red so I thought they were healthy. But the leaves almost seem like they’re getting kind of burnt. Below is about a 5 week difference between the pics.

New to the group and semi new to plants, but I love them. Here are my 1st 3. Hope they do well. Suggestions are certainly welcome.

the roots are sticking out - does this mean it’s time to repot? :)

Hey guys! My poor Sundew Spatulata isn’t doing so great… any advice? She’s usually in a closed terrarium with lots of light from a grow lamp and a good, boggy mix. I also make sure to open the terrarium for at least 30 min every other day…. I did cut off 3 stalks about 2 months ago. And have only fed her bloodworms a couple times….. Thank you!!!

Recently got a Venus fly trap I’ve been wanting one for years. I read something saying that if a flower grows you should cut it asap as it uses up light and energy but I also read another thing that said if it’s about to bloom it’s already used up so much and that if it seems healthy may as well take the risk. - anyone experienced this have any opinions or advice, I don’t want him to die but also don’t particularly want to cut it….

Is this thing flowering?

What's this growing out of my VFT is that why they’re all having yellow spots, brown spots wrinkly, and the little eyelash piece thing at the top field kind of crunchy but the thing is the right medicine soil is constantly moist

I think my plant is dying help please

I'm not sure how to help my sundew I've been trying to get the dew to come back but it's been like a month with no success and the leaves keep turning brown even though it's in damp moss with vermiculite and getting light from a grow light. I am also using distilled water. Any suggestions?
