💬 Don’t worry — it’s totally normal for older traps to blacken and die off ✂️ Each trap only opens and closes a few times before it’s done. It’s just part of the plant’s natural cycle.
However, if multiple traps are turning black quickly, or if the centre of the plant looks soft or mushy, it could be something else:
- 🌱 Normal aging (natural dieback)
- 💧 Under or overwatering
- 🐛 Pests or disease
- ❄️ Seasonal changes, especially dormancy
