I bought my plant about a month ago and it’s been doing fine, but today I got home from the store and most of its traps are closed. There’s nothing in them, expect for one which caught an insect a few days ago.

Does anyone know what’s wrong? I watered it this morning, if that makes a difference. I also keep it inside.

As far as your traps closing unexpectedly, don't worry about it. Probably a small bug wandered by and triggered the traps and escaped without getting trapped. It happens. Or maybe when you watered it you got some water in the traps and triggered them without noticing it. Either way, they'll reset in a few days, no worries.

It looks like you are growing a flower?? The plant also is quite pale like it needs much more light.
