Hey everyone, I would like to ask a question about a couple of my flytraps (G16 and DCXL) and there are also a few other traps that are doing the same thing regarding traps not closing or closing really slow or not that much. On a couple of my plants I wanted to test and see if traps would close and some of them would not close, while others would, but they would close really slowly. I found a post from a couple years back suggesting that this could be caused by to much watering and or not enough sunlight. Living in Arizona, I am having a really hard time giving them enough sunlight because the temperatures during the day are 110+ and I do not want to fry the plants in the direct sunlight, so I try and give them direct sunlight in the morning. But even if they are not getting enough sunlight I just cant see them getting over watered due to the extreme heat. I do leave them in water all day and night and fill the bowls when needed. I know for a fact they are not getting enough sunlight though. Could another factor of them not closing/closing really slowly be the extreme heat? Perhaps they are just super exhausted or something lol? Any help would be really helpful!
