FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Good morning! So, I purchased a d adelae a month or two ago, and recently it has gone from its super happy, perky state to this sort of droopy, exhausted state. It happened out of nowhere and I'm not sure how to fix it.
I give it water, sunlight, and humidity is fine (I live in Hawaii lol) anyways if you guys have any idea why its like this please help me! It used to look amazing, and still sorta does but I just dont like how the leaves touch the moss and are hanging over.
I repotted the plant a few days ago, but this happened before the repot. All ideas and comments are much appreciated!

I've had the same experience with my plants. The plants are always happy and well acclimated to their growing conditions before suddenly declining. In my experience, the plants usually recover by themselves in a few weeks.

Is it getting distilled water or rainwater? Looks a bit dry to me.

I don't know if they're even legal, but if you ever get any D. Capensis, for the love of the natural order don't let them spread any seeds anywhere! They're invasive in their native habitat, I'd hate to see what they'd do in Hawaii.

(though, come to think of it, maybe they'd get big enough to eat all the invasive chickens)

D Capensis are legal here! I own one actually, a huge adult that has flowers currently. Either way I laughed at your comment
