VFT Dying and Sundew Flourishing

Jerimah3
11 years ago

I recently bought a VFT and a Sundew, both about the same size, 4-5 inches in diameter. Both in fairly good healthy, as good as can be expected after being shipped in a box. I planted them in the same mixture of sand, peat moss, and perlite. I put them out in the full sun when its nice out, and inside in the window sil with bags over them for a temporary terrarium.

Recently my VFT's leaves have been blackening, then more and more, today it almost looks dead. It had new traps forming so I did not worry until now, the new traps and blackening and looking dead.

Oddly enough the Sundew, grown in the exact same way, looks to be striving, I cant imagine it looking any happier.

I'm curious if the environment was correct and the VFT died of reasons, or if I screwed up something specific to it? Any input on this would really help, although I don't think I can save the VFT.
