A funny thing happened with my Venus flytrap this summer

I've been growing carnivorous plants for about 10 years now. This year I decided to try giving my Venus flytrap some distilled water instead of tap water like I always did. Within 2 months the thing grew TRAPS almost double the normal size. I had no idea the minerals in tap water were holding it back that much. Has anyone else seen a big change just from switching water sources?

Used to think tap was fine too, but I'm totally converted now.

Wait, are we SURE the distilled water is what did it? I've grown these things for years with tap water and they always seem fine to me. Maybe your plant just had a good season or you finally figured out the light situation. Could be a coincidence, you know?
