Hello,
I have read this forum many times, but this time I've signed up and do my first question.
I have a Venus flytrap for about 5 months. Two weeks after purchasing, I did a transplantation using peat moss and perlite (I did the same with a sundew) and always watering with distilled water. The sundew for more than 3 months was perfect, better than ever, and one day began to lose its color (was brown) and died (now is beginning to reborn as a smaller plant). The venus recently began to turn black (and is not entering in dormacy period because we are in summer), the mouths of new leaves began to be black and some of those not even born, the rest of the leaf was perfect (only the mouth is affected).
Here is a photo (sorry for the bad quality, I took with my phone):
I'll really appreciate any advice!
Sorry for my faults in the language, I speak Spanish.
