FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

My pot of capensis seems to be in trouble. My typical seems to be suffering and so are the others. The alba is the least effected. I am trying to figure out how to solve the issue. The top moss on the pot is deceiving. The pot is always moist because I am using sphagnum peat moss as a main media and LFS as the top layer. I am wondering if I am actually overwatering them? I have experienced this red blotching before but have never figured out what it has meant. I don't know if it is too dry around the plants or what. It is definitely not because of the lights I am using though.

Thanks for the help in advance

your plants look fine. It is the time of year where, right after flowering, they go into a mega growth spurt, so it will be making tons of new leaves soon.

This is the second year for me when about all my d. capensis alba have this problem, after i let them flower 2-3 times each.
