I bought a flytrap some months ago, and I placed it outside for a few weeks. The leaves got really red but looked like they were burned so I decided to move it to my small greenhouse. They started dividing but looked unhealthy, so after separating them, i moved them again to my backyard where they only get morning light. Currently, they have only about 5 leaves and still no red coloring.
I usually water them from under the plant four days a week.
Can anyone help me?

Hmm, the old leaves kinda look like mineral burn, but the new ones don't. What is it planted in? What kind of water does it get? How long has it been back out in the sun?

You said you moved it back out in the sun from the greenhouse, so I am probably mistaking the sunburn for mineral burn. Where the new growth appears to not share the problem, leave it alone to let it finish acclimating.
It should be fine.
