A few weeks ago I transplanted my venus flytrap from its original dinky plastic cup pot to a slightly larger and much nicer ceramic pot w/ a perlite/long fibered sphagnum moss blend. Since I transferred it, it's been outside in a fairly shaded area.
I had some concerns about whether or not the weather would be cold enough for the flytrap to go dormant, but it's been quite cold where I am day and night.
I haven't been good about watering it. I need to set myself a reminder or I tend to forget. I'm not entirely sure when I last watered it, I just know it's been a while. I know, I'm a terrible plant parent.
When I checked my flytrap today, it didn't look well. One of the leaves, the purple one, was splayed open and there was black on all the stems. There is some green, but there's more black than I usually see and the leaves look shriveled to me.
Has my plant gone into dormancy, or is it dying or already dead? I'm crossing my fingers that it's the first, but I fear it's the second or third.
