I got this B52 a week ago and although the stalk has never held the traps up, they’re getting less green and more red and young ones seem to be dying/not thriving. I could be panicking but it’s not getting any better and I don’t want to wait till it’s too late. It’s always in a watering tray although I’ve given very little (distilled) water since the spangium is still very damp from when I potted it. It gets 8-12 hours of a mix of sunlight outside and led grow lights inside and it’s not exposed major temp fluctuation (70f at day 40-50f at night). I have not fed it yet. These pics are in chronological order.
I would also repot, the roots are much wider and more extensive than the canopy of the plant. I can only imagine how crunched the roots are. Im sure your local grow store should also have some spaghnum moss.

I would say peat moss with perlite added if you plan on changing. But it looks like you could just expand the home of the plant and add more spaghnum. Also switching out may stress the plant as Venus fly traps are easily stressed because movement and triggers use a lot of the plants growth energy.
