Dionaea muscipula Red Dragon Flytrap

See below for a full description.
This flytrap has red leaves and traps. Young plants are bright red all over. As it matures, it turns maroon with a green edge along the traps. Despite its attractive red leaves, it dislikes excessive heat. It also dislikes root disturbance, so we suggest repotting it only in late winter before the growing season starts. In fall, it slows down and gets ready for winter dormancy by dropping nearly all of its traps. While dormant, this plant can survive an overnight frost down to 20°F. Growth picks up again in spring.
The Red Dragon Flytrap is best suited for growers who have experience with the more common variety.

Is dying as fast as it is growing
I have followed all growing instructions, and its environment is stable - can't figure it out! Every time it grows a leaf, another dies. *** RESPONSE BY SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** We're always here to help you! I checked my messages, and I didn't see any from you. There are several factors that affect a plant's health, and without knowing how you have been caring for the plant, I can't diagnose the problem. If you have your plant indoors, this might be the reason for the symptoms you're seeing in your plant. Lack of sufficient sunlight is the number 1 reason for flytrap death. Make sure to grow your plant outdoors in full sun, 6 or more hours of unobstructed sunlight. If you need further assistance, visit the Carnivorous Plant Help page. You can find the link at the bottom of this page.

Beautiful red form Flytrap
I got the plant when it literally just starts to get out of dormancy where the plant has 4 traps that are pretty big. I repotted it into a larger pot and it's very happy nowadays.
