One thing to consider is after a trap has been used, sometimes the plant will kill it off to make way for new traps. It looks like that may be happening with one or two of them, but it might also be wilting from the wrong kind of water :( it’s hard to say for certain

Did u change the soil when u got it. And no tap water . That Will certainly kill it.  Peat Moss perlite or silica sand. The minerals in regular soil will kill them. They need nutrient Poor mix to survive.

@DaringColtsfoot · Answer

Only use distilled water, or reverse osmosis water, or rainwater. Minerals in all other kinds of water will Kill them. Believe me I know!
