Stunted Flytrap After Dormancy: Rhizome Recovery

Ric's 2-year-old flytrap emerged from dormancy with four tiny heads (<½ pinky nail). Afraid to transplant due to size.

Growing Tip Rotted, Rhizome Alive

Main growth point likely rotted in winter; rhizome is pushing new shoots from other points.

Transplant Now

Fresh 1:1 peat/perlite. Be gentle—don't separate heads. Remove dead material. Full sun, moist soil. Takes a couple seasons to regain size, but you'll get a larger clump.

Prevent Winter Rot

Dormancy: moist but not waterlogged. Lower water level.
