FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi, I own a B52 ( i think, please let me know if this is a different variety) venus flytrap. When I took it outside of the pot, a big chunk of soil got into one of the traps. I think it started digesting it. What do I do?

It isn't fully sealed, so it shouldn't be digesting yet. It should "realize" sooner or later that this is an inanimate object and let go. If something goes wrong with that, the individual trap could wind up dying, but the plant will be fine. No need to interfere, and I'm not sure there's anything you could do anyway.

Thanks

I get peat moss in the traps every time I repot in the spring. Most traps don't close (they're still mostly dormant) but those that do never have a problem.

Just let it be. Don't overthink it man. Worst that happens is trap dies off. You can't undo it
