Newly into gardening and I’ve always wanted a Venus Flytrap and I managed to find one at Lowe’s recently and chose the one that looked healthiest to me. I transplanted it after feeding it once. Peat moss, although it is enhanced and been watering with bottled water not tap. It only got tap water once. Lots of rain here this season. Has been in the sun pretty consistently from dawn to dusk. Has eaten three times so far, nothing on the list of harmful insects. A couple traps did close on some peat moss during transplanting. One has turned black the other remains closed.
The whole thing started out bright green.
Now I’m seeing reddish streaks and it got more intense in a short span of time and I’m hoping it’s not a bad sign.
The only issues we have had in the rest of the garden are Japanese beetles but they’ve only gone after the roses and basil. So I’m not sure what could be wrong, if anything.
