Hello everyone! I'm new to taking care of Venus fly traps and I've already burnt my plant.
I got mine at Lowe's earlier this week and immediately put it by my window. Now I realize I should have acclimated it first. I've since moved it to the shade and have only moved it back in the sun during dawn or dusk, but two days of doing this and it just looks worse.
The last photo is when I first noticed the burning on Thursday. The other two photos are from today. As you can see the traps are continuing to blacken and some of the stems too.
I've yet to give my plant any water or repot it. The soil feels damp so I don't think it needs to be watered. I think the main issue was too much sun.
Any advice on what I should do to save my plant is appreciated!
