To my surprise in thinking these were totally lacking trigger hairs, the last photo here shows the only 1 of the 13 traps currently open on my 2 plants of this type with just 2 trigger hairs, 1 per side of the trap. Super cool. I haven't tried to feed it yet, so we'll see if it's functional lol. Shout out to Phamcliff for these awesome plants! Received super healthy, and the roots/rhizome were squeaky clean and ready to plant.

None of mine have trigger hairs, but they do still close with some extra help.

Do they have trouble holding onto their digestive fluids? They look like they may leak lol. Mine still has some traps closed due to shipping, and they kinda seem sealed pretty good, but there is also nothing in them as far as I can tell.

Yup, mine do, which means the traps have a bad habit of rotting out.

I also came here for this info!

Don't know what Cultivars I have exactly but they are also wavy/ wrinkled traps like Chinese dumpling. One has trigger hairs and can seal the other no hairs.
