One-time traps

carnivorousplants
16 years ago

My venus flytrap that I've had for about a month is very healthy and has lots of traps but each time it catches a fly, it easily digests it then opens up but the cilia (teeth) are curved back.It only digests once then dosen't close again.

However,when I trigger a trap with a toothpick it opens up and is ready to close again.All leaves have this trait, even newly opened leaves that just caught a bug do this.

Before I bought it I read the care sheet at cobra plants and did everything it said so I know I'm not doing anything wrong.

Also, It was bought at wal-mart.

Thanks,

Adrian
