So I live in South Texas and its usually pretty hot down here. And I have one venus fly trap and I was wondering if anyone can recommend ways to make my plants be successful.
To be more specific I would like to know what containers to use (so water won't evaporate) and what ways to make them go dormant correctly. Where I live, the weather in winter can be cold the morning and really hot the afternoon or cold one day and hot the other.
Also, I have had these plants for about a year and I just want to make sure they're alright. The reason I'm worried is because I don't know if they went through dormancy and new leaves that barely open are start to turn yellow at one spot and then it turns black. So I don't if the sun is burning it and if the spot I have it in doesn't work
Help would be appreciated![Smile :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
