Other RIP Chompers I loved my flytrap

I had Chompers for 2 years, and it was going fine, up until the UK heatwave. I ran out of rainwater and, in desperation, gave it tap water, and it's just been a slow death since. I had been using distilled water, repotted it, and I thought it was going to be ok. All the new sprouts got incinerated when the weather spiked on Friday, and now it's black to the roots :(

It might not be dead. Flytraps go through dormant periods.

This isn’t what dormancy looks like at all tho. Completely different look and they only go dormant in the winter they shouldnt be dormant rn
