FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi im Avi! Im new to this forum because i need some help or advice.
I was in florida for 10 days and so i couldnt water taako and i just got back and he is wilting. I took off the dark leaves and gave him water bc he was all dry. But im not sure what to do now. I use distilled water for him and hes in that moss soil that i cant remember the name of. If anyone has any advice please help!!

I think if it's still green, I would keep watering it over the next few days. I wouldn't over soak it, but don't let it dry out. hopefully it will perk back up, or some new traps will grow in their place good luck!

I second that. Good light and good water. He should be okay. Even if all the leaves died, as long as the rhizome is whitish, it'll be fine.

This happened to some of mine, as well, and they can wilt from any drastic changes from one extreme to another (ie. too much water then not enough or vice versa). They just really love consistency and habit.

What type of light do you keep them under, or are they usually outdoors and had to be taken inside while you were gone? Same thing can apply to temperature and light, as well, in regards to drastic changes causing some wilting.

As long as new traps begin forming when the old ones die off and the rhizome looks healthy as Cross mentioned, they will most likely spring back!
