Venus Flytrap Repotted in Lime-Containing Soil: Will It Recover?

A grower accidentally used a soil mix with lime for 2.5 days, then repotted back into correct peat/perlite. Plants are in full sun, standing distilled water, with top watering in 100°F+ heat.

Outlook

Such a short exposure to lime is unlikely to cause lasting harm. In extreme heat, top watering oxygenates and cools roots. Shield pot sides from direct sun (e.g., place in a larger container) to prevent root baking. Keep water level at ~¼ pot height.
