heya guys,
So lately I lost my Red Dragon venus fly trap due to a root rot... and im destroyed..
I was wondering if you guys have any tips or maybe substances that will prevent or eliminate root rot once and for all.
thanks

Nice deep pots and well draining medium. And the medium should be kept moist at all times but never soggy or oversaturated...

Root rot isn't what killed it unless it sat in sopping wet medium for a very long time, like 4 weeks or more and the temp would have to have been quite low.
