I just bought a Venus Fly trap and when i take it home, it started to wilt. I water it with tap water, then discover that i shouldn't. Any tip on how to recover it? I currently place it outside my deck with a rain water plate underneath.

flush the medium with a lot of distilled water, even better, re-pot it(not really nessesary unless the medium is very old/ the wrong soil) you could also increase humidity by putting it into a zip-loc bag. pictures are really helpful.
