Hi all,

I am having a problem with my venus fly trap.

Normally it will eat bugs just fine. However, recently the mouths will not
close at all. They won't even move. There are about 4 on the plant right
now fully grown.

The plants seems to be doing fine otherwise. It is an all around good green
color, and it has actually been growing 2 new mouths very quickly the past
few days.

Can anyone provide any info on why the mouths are no longer working? It
doesn't mean it's dieing does it?

Thanks for any info!
