Hey y'all! I was checking on my fly traps earlier this morning, and after seeing a trap on one of the newest growths starting to suddenly blacken, I am currently a very anxious plant mom.
Here are some pictures of my girls from today:
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the traps that were present during dormancy were withering and taking on a sallow pallor. Because this withering was relegated to the older traps and coinciding with an explosion of dozens of green babies, I assumed this must be typical for the VFT life cycle. Seeing this today, I'm dreading the idea that I may have been terribly wrong.
FWIW, I'm in zone 10b. These lovely ladies spend all day on our Southwest-facing balcony, where they get full sun for at least ten hours a day. If it helps, I can also provide pictures of my plant charts where I track their daily weights and the weather!
Thank you so much in advance, and I hope you're all having a wonderful summer day!
