It is noted that many of us staying in Malaysia tend not to give their VFTs dormancy. I'm not sure about that, but one thing that I can guarantee, VFTs given dormancy will live very long naturally. I do not think that lack of dormancy can be the cause of slow traps, smaller traps and various problems. I note that there seems to be a time when VFTs grow smaller traps sometime in the year (myf friend had a VFT since 2008). Eventually it grows big traps again after two months or so. Here's something I found out, water tray is not good for VFTs grown in pure LFS media, it causes root rot or smaller traps.

Harris opened this thread as a thread for people to share similar problems with the VFT. And yes, try not to use so much short form, I can understand but many people here may not. Thanks for bringing out this topic though, I'd like to hear what the experts have to say.
