I bought the plant three days ago. It was very small and looked droopy, it's also my very first flytrap, so I went ahead and researched the hell out of it. Bought distilled water, cut off all the decayed black traps and gave a full day of sunshine. Today and yesterday. It had more than 7 hours of sun for two days.
But today I noticed that some leaves turned a bit yellow-ish on the edges and two traps started to decay. I read somewhere that those might be the signs of sunburn. It's the middle of march, though, the sun still seems cold, I didn't expect the plant to get burned from it. Or could it be because in the store the plant wasn't getting so much sunlight and is just not used to it? Should I leave it in the sun tomorrow too? Or am I over thinking?
