FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

My BZ 1955 had such a rough dormancy where all the traps died. once the other ones came out of dormancy i cut all the dead stuff off and was left with one yellow head and a yellow/pink rhizome.

turns out the problem was the dirt was covering too much of the rhizome because when i pushed it down on advice of others within a week green growths began and it grew wild. the second picture is maybe 3/4 weeks after i fixed the issue

plant def looks good and growing like a weed, however the new traps look slightly disformed. it does however eat and act normal otherwise. it did just begin growing a stem (can’t really see i. the pic tho) but given what it went through and the disformed traps i may just cut it so the plant has more energy to spend on recovering.

just wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts on this. i have no repotted this guy, dont plan to til next dormancy.

the rough pic is the before and the other nicer looking one is now

WOW, that plant really went downhill. Do you see any insects? Use a magnifying glass because some mites are invisible without a magnifier.
Are you using the right water? No tap water right?

It seems to have improved greatly. It’s going into spring. It should keep getting better. Patience.

it’s green now so it’s def doing a lot better. and yeah of course i use distilled or rain water. it’s not the water or lighting or medium since my other traps are just fine. there was 3 divisions looks like 2 of the three survived
