A couple weeks ago, i bought a venus flytrap. At first it did well, but now ALL the leaves are closed up and the plant looks dry even though I try to keep the soil moist. ONE of the leaves is even con-caved and others look hard and are yellowing/turing black.
1. It's Summer
2. I try to give it plenty of light (window sill)
3. i live in the scorching Arizona desert
4. despite living in the desert heat, i try to keep the soil moist
5. i water with a spray bottle that has tap water that has set for over 48 hrs.
6. last bug was last week
I just want a happy, healthy, green venus flytrap^_^
BTW, i just watered the trap, so it still looks quite moist in the pictures i took.
