Avoid repotting Venus flytraps while they are actively flowering.
Venus flytraps require pure water to thrivefiltered orrainwateris best.
Using standard potting soil or nutrient-enhanced mixtures will burn the Venus flytraps and kill them quickly.

When repotting a Venus flytrap, a standard carnivorous plant soil mixture should be used.
you might either mix one yourself or look for Venus flytrap potting soil to achieve this.
If you are mixing the soil yourself, a 1:1 mixture of unenriched peat moss andperliteis ideal.

The peat moss provides the acidity that Venus flytraps require, while the perlite helps to retain moisture.
Proper insulation is also important for Venus flytraps.
A minimum of 2 inches of potting medium around the edges of the rhizomes is recommended for optimal insulation.

This may mean choosing a larger pot for your Venus flytrap.
In most cases, plastic pots are best for Venus flytraps.
If necessary, separate multiple plants from one another to be re-planted separately.

As long as the plant has healthy rhizomes and roots this is nothing to be concerned about.
