I’ve been slowly introducing direct sunlight to my traps and they still seem to burn. I let them have around 4 hours of morning sun and then a few more hours of indirect light in the afternoon. It gets over 100 where I live so I bring them inside. I have them sitting in water as well. The pots are plastic and I used carnivorous plant soil to repot one about a week ago. I let them have indirect light for the first week after purchase to start, and then 1 hour of direct sunlight for about 3-4 days before increasing it to 2 hours and then 3 hours and so on. Love your content btw!
