Default Venus Fly Trap being eaten

The plant is in the second year of life, I've only ever
given it rainwater and deionised water. It has plenty of
sun, but maybe not much humidity. It started to grow a
flower just before these problems happened. I cut the
flower off after reading that it takes too much energy from
the plant. Hopefully it was the right thing to do.


cutting the flowers is usually recommended for indoor fly
traps, but i had one for 5 years that had 3 or 4 flowers per
year... it died when i had propane installed & the vent was
under the window where i had the fly trap
my sundew used to bloom in the winter & reseed its self.
