Hello, I swear this plant had flytraps like couple of years ago. but ever since then it looks like that.... At this point I am not even sure it is a fly trap plant?? What do you guys think? If it is, what am I doing wrong?

Not a flytrap, it's a weed.

It's a papyrus weed. It is often a hitchhiker with carnivorous plants.

I’d say the weeds over took the flytraps. I wonder if you looked in there, you’d find the remnants of a rhizome or two.

If you're any example of a gnome, then I'd say gnomes are very loyal to their plants.

A couple of years, eh?
