FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hey, the title says it all but I will elaborate a bit on it. I'm living in NSW, Australia. I bought this VFT at Bunnings and they have red mouth but as the new leaves came out, they are all green no matter how much sunlight or cool temperature I gave them.
Here are some pictures of before and after.
And I did research some topics at the forum before and applied some of the methods given but still no help.
Before

Here is where I put it

Thanks!

Move it 12" or more directly up(North) from where the photo is.

Oh. And Fang is not the cultivar, it's just a name on the package. It's a typical.

I read your location as Not Sure Where, Australia

I had one of the Bunnings ones. In fact, my current fly traps all originate from a Bunnings plant. I didn't really see any redness until my second summer. They're usually in pretty crappy conditions in the store, so it can take a while to adjust.

I have about 50+ flytraps of various cultivars or entirely different typicals. They grow in full sun all day long. And sometimes, they are just green. Side by side each other getting identical care, sometimes some are red others aren't etc. Since you're in Australia you are heading into fall am I right? That generally colors up all of my flytraps and through winter they just redder and redder.
Good luck!

Usually mid to late summer is when the traps start showing their brightest reds.
