I bought this at Walmart. All of the leaves died within a week. and I have managed to get it back to this. I use distilled water and haven't re-potted or fed it. It ate a spider with the only big leaf it had left.


Does it look ok???

Welcome to the Forum!

Your Flytrap looks like it is light starved.
In good light, the trap interiors turn Red.
In adequate light, the traps are Green but perfectly formed.
With inadequate light, traps don't develop fully and the leaves are long and scraggly.

Matt, our System Admin has posted a care and feeding guide at www.flytrapcare.com check it out.


Good growing,
Mike
