4 seems quite good going for a VFT trap. They can turn brown even
after their first insect if it's a big one. Just ignore it and assume
that the plant will use the fertiliser from 4 insects to grow lots
of *new* traps. How often do you 'feed' them? Perhaps you should do
it a bit less often - after all the traps look better when they
are open!
