FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

This little trap that's growing in is developing one side faster than the other, and I thought it was kinda curious looking. Do you think it has anything to do with being recently repotted?

It might be caused by lack of sunlight.

I experienced this with my Red Piranha a couple years ago. They grew like this for several weeks to a couple months and then started going downhill. I didn't determine exactly what it was but it wasn't a lack of light. I ended up deducing later that something about my peat moss (Premier bale) and water was causing me problems in all my pots (maybe unrelated to this phenomenon). Is this one of its first traps since dormancy? Why did you repot it? Just a routine thing?

My dente have been doing that since I got them (like 4-6 months), I've put it down to TC hormones because they were growing very funny since I got them and it was obviously because they were fresh from TC (I think I divided it into 6 plants over that timeframe). It's definitely not lack of light, my light is bright enough to turn dente red. It also seems that the smaller divisions mostly stopped doing it as well, it definitely does it less than when I got it too. I got a lot of other traps in the same pot and they do NOT do this so at least in my case I don't think it's the soil.

I would wait, possibly it's the soil/water and you might want to replant, but if it's a new plant could be weird hormone effects too.
