Hello all! So I just bough a trap the other day...I've had it home for two days and it looks like it's dying

.....all the leaves are closed and it's all shriveled up. Is this a common thing? Please help! I have repotted it but followed the "guidelines" in doing so. I don't want it to die

The shriveling doesn't sound normal. Pics would help diagnose the issue.
Was your soil free of nutrients? Did you use distilled/rain/RO water? What the rhizome white and firm when you were repotting?

It looks like there are 3 dying traps and 2 green healthy traps. As well as some new ones emerging.
It seems to be fine, and that just the old traps are dying off and will be replaced by the new ones.

They also probably all closed due to repotting. That often triggers them to shut for a little bit.

Given good sunlight, and proper media moisture your plant will thrive. I'm not sure if you plan on growing it under lights or in the sun. Either way acclimate it so not to further stress it.

Hey do you have any wooly sundew seeds? I cant seem to find any. And the ones I did cost way to much. I have a large bog I made and also grow seeds in garage. If you have any wooly sundew seeds that would be the best. Thanks Sundewwolf.
