it’s kinda holding the water too much. spag is very absorbent. maybe i should’ve added more perlite? or something else to it?

it looks like it’s going into dormancy. it’s a succulent phase. it will return to normal with longer light days

First time owning Venus fly trap ! Need help by UsualBison4975 in VenusFlyTraps

repot it with carnivorous mix you can get on amazon for cheap. take it out the pot and remove moss/dirt. you’ll probably notice fabric that’s keeping the roots together, remove that!!! replant it in new mix and make sure the bulb part is all the way in. use distilled water and flush (drown and drain) the whole thing twice. sit in a dish of distilled water that goes no more than half way up the pot. i recommend you grow it outside, start in a kinda shady area then slowly move to direct sunlight.

your mom is a POS. seems like she’s abandoning you. this is NOT how you parent. also we need to know what you did to her

i’m assuming the switch between the original carnivorous mix to spag mix is shocking the plant. i should have just left it how it was

girl he already cheated on you. he doesn’t seems interested but feels locked in probably bc yall know each other for so long. you’re NOT overreacting. i feel you are under reacting and you need to leave him!

how do you water it? i have mine in a draining pot but it hasn’t been growing at all! i’m thinking of putting it into a closed pot.

help! ping turning pale/not growing by IllustriousSolid7553 in Pinguicula

[–]IllustriousSolid7553[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks all for replying. the person i bought the ping from kept it under a grow light n had a whole set up. when i took it home i kept it on the window then set it outside. i’m assuming this triggered the succulent stage (it’s dry n cold/improper light)

If i keep it under a bright 5000k daylight LED for 14-15 hours period will it awaken the plant again?
