Venus Flytrap in Glass Vase: Likely Dead from Rot and Poor Dormancy

Multiple Fatal Errors

• Glass vase: no drainage, overheats in sun, accumulates heat/fungus.
• Flowered in summer (should be spring)—plant confused.
• Winter die-back normal, but overwatering in dormancy causes fatal rot.
• Repot in opaque plastic pot with drainage, 4–6" deep, no high sides. Water moist not wet. Examine rhizome—if not brown/mushy, may recover.
