My Venus Flytrap has four growth points. One of the growth points is just putting out trapless leaves, but the other three are putting out leaves with traps. Why doesn't that one have traps as like the other ones?

Really? The moss just is really puffy on top.

You think so? The plant was inoor under a light for fourteen hours a day until I put it on the east side of my house. (I'm going to slowly move them to the south side.)

They are just extremely new leaves, the first that you see even if there is a lot of sunlight, I have had the same thing when my leaf cuttings strike, they come out with non carnivorous leaves, and then start producing them.
