First time I ever let my plants flower. They didn't grow many new traps during flowering, but after flowering and producing seeds, it seems like all my plants are putting out much smaller traps and generally not looking as healthy. Curious anyone's experience with health observations months after flowering has finished. I also cut the stalks after seeds were harvested.

Nevermind I read in the forum sticky post. Oh well at least this season I got a ton of seedlings growing. My plants are still growing traps just they look sad.

"At the very least, it will not grow as well afterward, usually very noticeably so, for months or an entire season."

My plants finished blooming a month ago. After "taking a breather", they are now cranking out large traps again.
