I don’t think it’s humidity itself that’s the problem. After all, it can get very humid in coastal North Carolina. It’s more the additional conditions they deal with when you put them in closed terrariums - insufficient light (unless you’re growing under lights) often excessive water...winter dormancy when they really don’t want to be too wet. Also there are many different perceptions of “doing well.” People come into our shop all the time with plants they think are “doing well” because they’re “growing so tall”—what they really mean is “etiolated.” Or they insisted their pitcher plant they kept inside “did really well.” And how is it doing now? “Oh, it died. But it was really doing well before.” I.e. the leaves it had grown before they got it didn’t die off immediately.
Yes you can keep a flytrap alive for a while in a closed unventilated container. My question is “okay, but why?” It may survive but why grow it in conditions where it clearly can’t grow at its best?
