The first new trap that grew developed enough to see the hairs then started to shrivel and die. The original traps have all since died but, the plant continues to grow new leaves only to have the baby traps blacken and die before they can even resemble a trap.
I have repoted with pearlite and sphagnum peat moss (the rocks are aquarium decorative)
I scoured the other posts but didn't get a clear answer. I THINK I may be over watering but that just doesn't seem right... I mist it with distilled water every couple days or when moss feels dry.
As you can see in the pic there's condensation in the bottom but no standing water....
Also in the pics u can see the baby traps Browning at the tip, eventually the whole baby trap darkens and dies and just the leaf remains healthy
Bottom line, my VFT has no traps, please help
A quick background: my boyfriend got me a grocery store death cube late last summer, VFT was relatively healthy but I skipped dormancy to try to get it a little stronger (it only had 3/4 traps on skinny leaves).
