Any advice?

Hello folks,
I’ve had my #VenusFlyTrap for about 7 month and have repotted it about 5 months in. It stays pretty droopy. It has new growth and even growing a new cluster. I put the dehumidifier on every 3 days and close the green house. Any advise on making its habitat better? I live in a 10a/b zone. #CarnivorousPlants #help #CarnivorousClub thanks in advance!

It's probably droopy due to not enough water, VFT's should always sit in a bowl of water.
Pop your VFT in a bowl of water and she'll perk up 😊

Venus fly traps need quite a lot of light to make them perky and red. Yours looks fairly green instead of a nice bright red in the mouths, so I would guess it’s not getting enough light. They like direct sunlight for majority of the day (like 12-14+ hours).

Just make sure the water they sit in is distilled
