My flytraps are wilting. I believe they are coming out of dormancy but I've never seen them do this before and they don't typically present this way when they are sunburnt so I am not sure what is going on.
I have had them for 5 years with minor problems but this is the worst they have ever looked. They have been inside for the winter but near a window. They were starting to wilt about 2-3 weeks ago and their leaves were coming in deformed and with no traps so I uprooted them to look for signs of disease. The rhizomes looked good on all of them though some of the roots came away quite easily. They have only been given distilled water.
I put them outside starting about 3 days ago. The sun has not been intense but they did stay out all day. I am hoping it is sunburn and the new growth comes in healthy but seeing as sunburn has never presented this way in the past and the wilting started while they were still inside, Im not sure that is the problem.
Has anyone seen this before and maybe know the cause?
Thank you
