FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Ugg I can’t figure out how to post a picture so this isn’t going to go too well... anyway I’ll try.
I bought a VFT from a local farmers co-op. It came in a plastic pot with drainage holes and a clear plastic dome top. I have no idea what media it’s planted in. I did all kinds of research on caring for them AFTER buying the plant. It seems ok, but the stem or whatever (leaves?) that the actual trap is connected to is turning a very dark red. It’s almost brown. I know that they can turn pink/red but this is really dark. There was a big stem coming up in the middle that I’ve snipped off. It gets direct sunlight outside (Maryland, USA in April, so lots of sun). Maybe it was shocked by the light?) I learned that I was over watering it, so I’ve corrected that. It’s also just kind of...floppy. There’s not much rigidity to it. I know next to nothing about horticulture (but I am learning!) but I know it just doesn’t look healthy overall. I typed all this up but I guess without a picture there isn’t much you can do for me. Any guidance on how to upload.

Scroll down in the posting section you will see Options below that it says upload attachment click on that and browse through your drive to find the pictures you want to post. If it's floppy and not much rigidity then you are lacking on light most likely.
