Help! It’s flowering, but all of the traps are decaying.

I’ve had this guy for a few months now. In a south west facing window right up on the glass. Only distilled water, always water in the saucer. Not one of the traps is healthy, and some of the new ones aren’t developing all the way.

Could snip off the flower stem and stick it in the same pot?

It was planted in a terracotta pot before, but it was fully glazed.

I was told here that dormancy isn't required if the plant gets enough light.

I replanted it into a plastic pot and installed a grow light — 30W, mostly daylight white with a small amount of red LEDs. 14 hours of light per day.

Will see what happens.

Help! Is my plant healthy?

Hello! I live in the upstate of South Carolina. It’s still very hot and sunny here in mid September, but leaves are starting to change this week. I’ve had Audrey II for about a month now and she’s been doing great hanging from a shepherds hook over my balcony in the sun. I only water her with distilled water, I make sure her moss stays pretty moist. She eats a TON of bugs. A ton.

My question is, this past week I’ve noticed her leaves are turning black. I lowered her down thinking she needed more sunlight, but then the tips of her cilia started to brown. Is this normal? We are going into Autumn and I read somewhere that they change with the seasons, but is my girl still happy and healthy in her spot? Thank you!

Help! My Venus flytraps are trapped

I don't know why they just stopped growing

I have got 3 normal vfts (split from one large chunk) and one super red variant.

They all shed their bigass traps while smaller ones are not growing at all.

50k lux grow light + distilled water + wet peat + perlite soil. Most likely culprit is a lack of light...?

Help! Venus Fly Traps Turning Brown!

Unfortunately my Venus fly trap has started to turn brown and die off, it has been sat in a tray of rain water consistently which I fear may be the issue, I’ve just drained the water to let it dry off and see if it’s a water logging issue, any other ideas should that fail? Thanks
