FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi everyone,

I have 3 b52s which I kept in my small greenhouse over the winter. Being in college now, I wasn't able to water them as often during dormancy. I'm afraid they got too dry, as you can see in the photo, but I peeked at the rhizomes and they are still green. Is there a good way to revive them? I'm worried they don't have sufficient nutrients to push up traps without some sort of kickstart. Thanks!

If the rhizomes are white, they should start growing again very soon. I'd suggest uprooting them and cleaning off any material that is brown and then repotting them. Then keep the soil evenly moist and if the rhizomes are truly still alive, they'll grow back this year.

Will do! Thanks Matt!
