I just now received this dying DXCL Venus Flytrap in the mail from a large online retailer. Only two large leaves and traps. Both a sickly yellow color. I looks like it was packed and sitting around for a week before it was shipped. This is hands down the worst condition plant Ive ever received from a supplier.

I sent an email to the retailer requesting a healthy replacement or a refund. I think this plant will survive. But all I'll have after these leaves die off is a bulb for now. I can't believe that they sent me the plant in this condition ?
