Hi
So I just got my fly trap about a week and a half ago. I've repotted it since then in carnivorous plant soil and water it regularly to keep the soil moist. The vfr pot is suspended in another pot so the water drains to the bottom. I've kept it on my window sill but I wasn't sure if it was getting enough light so I put it under my led grow light and now it looks more sad than before. The thermostat is set at 73-74 usually and the only times I've moved him was downstairs to upstairs. I fed him fresh flies too.
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong and any help would be very much appreciated!!
EDIT: I have flushed out the plant with about 1.5 gallons of RO water. I'm going to put him in a bag and leave him under the grow lamp. I want to expand into more carnivorous plants but I want to make sure I can look after at least this one first. Thank you for all the help!!
