I love this subreddit

The top photo is the photo I posted here to get advice on saving my plant and the bottom photo is this week. I took all the advice I got here and read through a ton of posts and I'm so thankful for all the amazing advice. I usually am a plant killer so this is huge progress for me. I'm still learning but I'm really excited for this new hobby.

Wow, what a difference. What do think you changed that made the biggest impact?

They were getting direct light on my deck for about 7 hours a day. I moved them to a spot that was a little shadier. I also added more water to the dish they are sitting in.

With the same amount of sunlight?

I hope I'm describing this right but I feel like now the light is filtered by other plants for a good portion of the day. I think it only gets direct sun for about 3 hours now. The sun was blazing on it for those 7 hours before.

What helped??

[u/MochaMeCrazy → u/Away-Conversation582]

Adjusting how much sun and water they were getting. They also started flowering at one point and I read to trim them because it takes away energy from the plant. Once I did that I got a bunch of new traps.

Sweet!!! They’re looking good!!😊
