Default Re: VFT dormancy

Hi Arvin, if the leaves are falling off, I think the plant is probably rotted from the core. Try taking the fallen leaves, cut away the rotten part and do leaf propagation. But chances of getting plantlets from a fallen leaf is not high as these fallen leaves are normally weaker leaves compared to leaves we peel from a vigorous VFT, but no harm trying.
I suspected you've kept the plant too wet during dormancy, remove the water tray and water only when the sphagnum moss is dry (top layer).
I have tried cold dormancy before, it didn't work well. I have more confidence in dry dormancy as some of my plants survived many years now with this method.
