Venus Flytrap Died from Overwatering/Fungus; Replacement Timing for Mini-Bog

A grower’s flytrap died after premature outdoor placement and fungal attack from overwatering. Asks when to plant a replacement in a 12″ mini-bog with S. ‘Daina’s Delight’ and D. intermedia.

Plant in late April for safety. Verify the new plant’s prior conditions—commercial plants are rarely acclimated to outdoor temps. Spring planting avoids shock.
