Problem with Venus Fly Trap

I have been following the instructions on the label but it isn't thriving. So far since I bought it one month ago I have had to remove a number of leaves/shoots as they have turned black and apparently died. The instructions say to keep it standing in approx 5mm of water and I have been doing this. I have also tried it in bright sunlight and in the shade but it still seems to be suffering. I would dearly like to know why and what I can do to resolve the situation. Many thanks, Mo Thanks to all who responded. Well I've kept it pretty wet but have been using tap water. Here in north Scotland - where the water is fairly soft, it will no doubt have chlorine added, so perhaps that's it. The poor think hasn't had any flies for lunch yet though. I'm off now to change the water - bottled this time - and catch some flier - bottled costs money. Put a container outside and wait. (About 10 minutes if the forecast is anything to go on!)  )Thanks very much, Mo Aldready done... |
