What to do if the leaves and clips of the Venus flytrap are black?

1. Reasons why leaves and clips turn black

This may be caused by changes in the growth environment, so it is necessary to provide it with a more comfortable environment for maintenance. It may also be caused by improper water, fertilizer, and light, or it may be caused by inappropriate cultivation soil. Temperatures that are too high or too low can cause its leaves and clips to turn black, and this phenomenon can also occur if too much food causes indigestion in the plant.

2. Solution

1. It is advisable to control the moisture in the plant pot at around 50% to 70%, then cover it with a bag to keep it in a stuffy place, then place it in a well-lit place for about 7 days before taking it out for maintenance.

2. Just control the temperature between 15 and 25 degrees. You can use the basin method to water it, so that the Venus flytrap will not cause waterlogging.

3. The loam used can be peat with good moisture retention and river sand and other materials. Mix them evenly before use.

4. Reduce the amount of food given to the plant to avoid indigestion and blackening of its color. The amount of fertilizer used should not be too large. You can mix it with water and then use it for watering.
