hi
when i got my plants at lows the traps were closed and have stayed this way for 4 days
is there any thing they may need how long do they take to open
the traps are empty help
Sounds like some bored shop staff have spent their tea-breaks jabbing the trigger hairs to while away the misery of their working day. That's assuming Lows is a shop of sorts - I've never heard of them.
It's just a matter of waiting a few days for the traps to open again. If the traps were weak when they were triggered, or they've been triggered several times, the plant may just give up on them, let them die off, and concentrate on bringing on younger, fresher shoots. That's just part of the plants' way of dealing with exhausted traps and is nothing to worry about.
I'd concentrate on providing the plants with the things they'll need: the right light, humidity and water levels. They'll do the rest.
