Hi,
I'm a new user and I bought a common fly trap last summer. It did real well last summer and I put it through dormancy and it came out after 2 months just fine. It looked like it was doing well right after dormancy and then it started to look sick. It sent up a flower and I cut it off at about an inch and now the plant is barely growing and the leaves are wilting. I replaced the peat moss/gravel about a week ago and it still doesn't look very good. Here is a picture. Please help me!!! Actually the picture wont work but the leaves are very wilted and when a new trap starts to grow, it turns black before opening or wont open at all and all traps are very small. I have it under a plant light bulb about a foot under the light. Humidity doesn't seem to be the reason.
