Is my flytrap on its last legs?

[PickledMuffin]

Hi. I've only recently got this trap, as it looked lonely in the shop.

we've watered it, earth is nice and spongy, also it is in the sun by the window.

it looks like it's going to die though!

Any care tips would be welcomed.

thank you

Only use rain water

Good tip! thank you. Is there still hope that it may recover? it was very dry when we got it.

They die back quite a bit over winter.

I think it's dying in general though ☹️

I've got a pitcher plant and a monkey cups.
I've read that they are carnivorous because their natural environment is nutritionally poor so maybe you could help it by changing the potting mix? My pitcher plant lives outside and has a mix of fine gravel and perlite, it's got a membrane at the bottom of the pot to make it boggy as that's what it likes.

The monkey cups lives inside and is mainly in sphagnum moss, it hangs above the kitchen sink so gets a lot of humidity from there.

The monkey cups is watered with collected rainwater or sometimes reverse osmosis water (from local aquarium shop) or even water from my dehumidifier. Basically tap water is too mineral and they need poor quality "dead" water instead.

When I bought them I did lot of research online. I can't remember any specific companies but there are specialists in the UK for most plants and there's definitely a few expert websites of carnivorous plant growers in the UK. I'm sure they would be easily findable by googling.

BTW if you live anywhere near RHS Wisley they have a wonderful carnivorous plant bog pond!

Bright light is good, sun through a window (even in winter) not so good.
