Hi, I have recently got into carnivorous plants as a whole and started my collection with a VFT and a sundew. I have them placed on my front deck in a spot where it receives direct afternoon sun for roughly 4 - 5 hours but indirect sun for most of the day. I live in Queensland in Australia so its summer and we have regular days of 30+ C heat. I water using the tray method in a large 10 L pot which is mixed 50/50 perlite and peat moss. When I got the plant about 2 months ago it seemed to be thriving and it started flowering, I have read that it can survive the flowering process if its kept in the right conditions and as it was my first I decided to let it flower, it was doing great and threw out two flower stalks but as of the last week it has started to go downhill really quick. As you can see in the photos I took it has started to go yellow on the leaves and then eventually turn a very sad brown, this has happened to all of the lower leaf stocks and is now starting on the top ones. is this just the plant weakening from throwing flowers and it will bounce back or is this caused by poor plant care and incorrect conditions?
