So the sprinklers got a little bit of water on my flytrap. I flushed the soil, to get the minerals out. I know I'm probably being irrational, but a sprinkle of water won't cause mineral burn, right?

I wouldn't think so. I've watered mine with tap water several times when I ran out of distilled or rain water, and they were fine.

I have sprinklers that spritz my CPs everyday...
As long as you flush the soil, you're good.

Thanks @Sundew grower @CPhunter101, I put up a little cardboard box that protects it from sprinklers, but doesn't block out sunlight.

Glad to know this! I've also got the same problem and was concerned.
