Hello! Can anyone help me with my plan - it's looks not healthy :(
what i should to do 1st to make it healthy. It have small traps, long tiny leafs... it close traps slow so it cant catch food. It lived in my room before - but it lost red colour of traps so it live in balcony now with loads of sun light.
I water it with distilled water ones per 3 days via tray. It now live on balcony in 50% sun shade. Soil should be good - mostly peat moss, sphagnum moss and perlite.
Why it have all leafs goes ''round" and only new one trap (biggest one) have smooth leaf.

It looks sun deprived and the media looks pretty dry. Maybe reload the water tray once every day and put it out in way more sunlight..

Could be the soil its in, color dosen't look right. I would change your media to LFS right away, stuff used for orchids. I had plants looking like that had allot of algae growing within the soil. Give partial sun. Full sun will burn it up. Also looks like lack of air.
