I bought a VFT from a store in California last year (live in Utah). After I received it the plant (kept inside, I think in the same soil it was shipped in) did well and traps were large size. It ate like normal and there was nothing wrong. In late fall I put it into dormancy in my fridge. I kept it damp and made sure no mold formed. It kept it's green color the entire time. When spring came, I transferred it to a small pot with Sphagum Moss and a little bit of perlite. The few original leaves that lasted through dormancy died off and new babies started to form... a lot of them actually. Since then, the traps never got very big (currently big enough to catch a very small fly). New ones continued to form for a while. Just recently they all started to turn very light green and many have turned black. I tried to force-feed one of them, but it didnt close on it's own. Please help.
