My Bimbo started waking up from dormancy last week, I divided and repotted... but many of the new traps (in center of rosette) are growing with brown edges. Any recommendations ?

That same exact thing happened to me with my flytraps coming out of dormancy. It was the amount of light, try putting them outside with full sun. Or if that's not possible use a high intensity grow light. What kind of light are you using?

Thanks for the feedback. I just put them under a grow light three days ago. I kept them in a cellar window, we had a cold snap... I was wondering if maybe they got too cold? The older traps look healthy to me.

Personally my flytraps don't do well under grow lights, it's not enough sun for them and the newer traps don't have enough sunlight.

I put mine outside as soon as the weather permits. Still chilly in the Berkshires... :cry:
