Hello, I'm Giselle
I'm new to this forum and I currently own 11 Venus flytraps of various kinds. I am still a bit new to keeping Venus flytraps and I think this forum would help me care for my Venus flytraps better.
My oldest Venus flytrap is a typical that I got at trader joes. I had this Venus flytrap for a year, and it was doing very well after its first dormancy.
I changed the soil a week or two ago and I also split up the Venus flytrap from the rhizome for the first time. There are currently 6 small Venus flytraps in the same pot (I hope it isn't too overcrowded, but I am afraid to take it out of the soil again; I also didn't have any other pots at the moment when I did repot it). The pot I am using is 6 inches across and 5 inches deep.
It started to not do well the past few days with some traps becoming shriveled and some getting patches. I provided pictures of the Venus flytraps. I know the growth is supposed to slow after the first few weeks of being in new soil, but I just want to be sure it isn't sick.
Thank you!
