It depends on what method you are using to collect it. If you are sure that it is clean, then it could be something else. You might want to try repotting into new, clean media and water with distilled water only for a month or so to see if the plants recover. - Matt Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:41:38 +0100 http://www.flytrapcare.com/the-importance-of-water-for-venus-flytraps/35-water/45-the-importance-of-clean-water-for-venus-fly-traps.html#comment-40 I watered my first trap with chlorine water for a week or two but when i got two new flytraps i started watering with rain water i collected. ive been doing this for almost a week. I noticed the first trap i got was starting to get little wrinkles and now one part of it has a very subtle tinge of light brown i noticed. is this the water? how do i correct this? - Dom Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:28:34 +0100 http://www.flytrapcare.com/the-importance-of-water-for-venus-flytraps/35-water/45-the-importance-of-clean-water-for-venus-fly-traps.html#comment-36 You will definitely still have to water them. Do you have any particular reason for growing them in a terrarium? Venus Fly Traps don't usually make very good terrarium pets. It's possible to grow them in terrariums, but they are healthier and more robust if they are grown outside. If you have any more questions, you should join the forum and ask them there. I hope to hear more about your growing experiences on the forum. Best of luck with your flytraps! - Matt Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:39:30 +0100 http://www.flytrapcare.com/the-importance-of-water-for-venus-flytraps/35-water/45-the-importance-of-clean-water-for-venus-fly-traps.html#comment-33 Hi There from the UK If I have flytraps in a terrarium - is the natural condensation which forms enough to keep the plants healthy or should I water as well? Any tips would be appreciated very helpful site by the way - Alan King Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:20:44 +0100
