@maumastoks all of mine are black :(

[megastagbeetle]

do i cut the black stalk or the trap itself

[maumastoks]

A big part of the leaves die off (become black). Cut these leaves off.

Some others might become yellowish too. Leave these leaves be (unless they become black)

Okay, so I live in Texas and it's now November. It's time for it to go dormant, right? How do I know when it's suppose to actually go "dormant"?

You should always keep the soil moist, but you need to keep it in a cold place.
