When the stalks and traps of the Venus turn black and gooey it isn't
getting enough subtenants up from the roots to keep it green. Down where the
roots used to live they disappear by the protozoa of root rot. And if you
leave the remains of the plant in the pot outside thripes eat everything up
where there is no more plant. So even though we were able to remove the
plant from the plastic red terrarium and have it survive for a time, it gives
up the ghost. But one more thing will be what will guarantee survival, a
small percentage of salt in the soil. If you don't want to try it on more
than one healthy plant, try a little salty water over some of your on the way
to, or dead plants.
