    Dying venus flytrap!
    I bought a flytrap about an year ago. At first I fed it some insects but as time passed couldn't feed much, then nothing at all. It was finely doing until last winter. After that as it should, it went to its sleep period. When the spring arrived it wasn't looking good. It sprouted new leaves which turned black not long after and one by one the leaves died. They weren't looking very healthy. They died before they even opened. Now leaves sprout and die young. Two very thin leaves remain with 3 half dying leaves. That's all.
    Please tell me what I should do.
    Info:1 year old nerver repotted three plants in one pot(crowded)6 cm diameter pot
    Never repotted
    Maybe a fungus(no sign though-leaves turning black when young and die)
    If fungus should I use cinnomon
    High humidity enough sunlight
    Tiny leaves
    Please reply with help.
    Thank you.

    My mother used to feed her venus flytrap hamburger once in a while, a little goes a long way with them. A fly will feed them for about 3 weeks. They don't need much sunlight, keep on a windowsill with light only. I would suggest googling the information you need for the venus flytrap. It is a shame it is dying; it is a unique plant in itself.
