Weird one, so I had my plants in rain many times in Florida, usually more on the patio. I put them directly in the grass under open sky. They really got hit hard and a lot of the leaves had brown bruising spots after and most of the traps just opened up 90 degrees like they were completely exhausted out. None of the plants ever grew a normal trap after that. The ones in progress just deformed (see upper left). The very small buds of new leaves mostly turned black and died off.
So I'm left with these plants that are a month after heavy rain. See picture. Still very green for whats there but nothing new growing. I flipped the pot upside down to drain the excess water when the heavy rain happened and have let it dry out almost all the way (Same I've been doing for months), so they were never in a puddle of water. I still collect rain water and keep all the soil damp but not soaked. Any ideas here? Happened to anyone else? One of the plants already died that I removed. I fear the hard rain may have hit directly on the rhizome and split all the leaves and it just got too much damage.
