Default Re: my venus flytrap is becoming black! HELP! what should i do?

I would suggest that you change the media that you are using to a 50:50 mix of peat moss and sand. Then place the pot in tray with about an inch of water and allow the tray to dry before putting more water in. Also place the plant where it will recieve the most light. This should certainly help with your problem. Usually when you get a leaf without a trap it is due to insufficient light. If the plant is also kept wet inthese conditions the bulb could rot. Try the above and if these are the problems it should fix itself very quickly. Cheers.
