A few of my traps aren’t looking so good,they got these black dots on them that almost looks like a mold or something.and the base of all the stems are red,is this natural coloration or from a deficiency?thanks if anyone helps

Never mind lol.

Your plants look good though. The red is a natural color in response to strong light (I think), and the brown spots look to be from the plants traps dying off after consuming prey.

It looks fine overall though, so I wouldn't worry.

Seconding @TOPB, traps look super healthy and the black spots are just old traps dying off.
