Default Re: Help!! Trap sensor no response even manual trigger

Each trap can only open and close for a couple of times, after which the trap will cease to funtion or move. However, it still acts like a normal leave making food from sunlight etc.

So, it is always best not to trigger the traps with your fingers or with anything. It is like giving a child an ice-cream. When he is about to put it in his mouth, you take it away from him.

The plant won't starve to death. However, are all the traps not working of just a few old traps? Lately, it has been raining and the weather is cold. That has an effect on the speed and movement of the traps. When the temperatures is cold and there is lack of sunlight, the traps will not work properly or move very slowly. It could also be that the plant is going into dormancy.

A picture will be great so that we can all diagnose the problem better.
