Hello everyone!
Firstly, I’m super new to carnivorous plants and am very ignorant. I have multiple websites full of info for my new plant, but none of them have what I can do. The plant wasn’t in the best condition when I got him, but he started to look amazing after about a week. Then, the weather recently has taken a turn. It’s cold so no bugs and cloudy so no sun. The two stalks in the middle look amazing, but a handful of the leaves are turning black and some websites say to cut the dead part off, but I don’t want to hurt the plant. What can I feed him in the mean time while the weather is bad? I don’t want to end up killing him 3 weeks after getting him. Any advice is appreciated.
Edit:
Wanted to give an update now that it’s been a few weeks. First, I want to thank everyone for your advice(idk who will get notified or how all that works here). My plant is moved to a plastic container and the weather has gotten nicer so he has his own spot outside. The stalks and fully black leaves I removed. A couple more leaves died off, but he currently has six little leaves growing and I’m very happy about that. .
