I have a problem that is seeming to grow . . .
Whenever I water my little Venus Flytrap seedlings, all the traps keep closing, and this irritates me a lot! How can I water my Flytraps without closing the traps?

tray method? Pour the water in the tray, not the pot... Unless, of course, you are already using the tray method...

Are there any other possible methods, if you could share them please?

Take the rose off the spout of your watering can and water only the media, avoiding the plants. If you can not remove the rose then buy a watering can without one or where it is removable.

I have noticed some of my traps close when watering from the top even when I put the water in slowly. I have not experimented with this to figure out why. Perhaps the reason the traps close when you water from the top is the sudden change in temperature when colder water floods the warmer traps. An interesting experiment would be to see if watering closes the traps on hot and cool days or warm and cold water. As Unstuck said, you can avoid the issue be putting the water in a tray.
