Hello people, I'm experiencing slow traps, even though my little traps look very good. Grown outside, and using Distilled water.

How long have the traps been grown outside?

About two months.

Have they always been like this then? They seem light deprived.

The newer growth looks decent to me. Some plants are just slower to close than others. I wouldn’t be too concerned at this point.

No, some are old traps, right now their sending out tons of new growth. They get sun almost everyday. By the way their sending red leaves so that's a good sign. I just have to wait.

Don't even worry about it.

Sounds like it's doing great. Just wait and see what it does.

Next growing season it will be a totally different plant.
