The 'Red Dragon' variety naturally has fewer traps in early season (often only 2–3) because its leaves have a shorter lifespan. This is normal, not a sign of poor health. As summer progresses, trap production accelerates.
If you prefer more vegetative growth, cut the flower stalk at the base (just above the rhizome). This redirects energy to leaf production. For a plant with only a few traps, removal is advisable.
A photo of the plant showed typical early-season appearance. With full sun and consistent water, it will reach peak size by July.
Good growing!
