the growth slowed down a little bit.............. but i can still see two new leaves forming from the rhizome............
but the new leaves that opened just now seen to have shorter leaves........
and just a few hours ago........when i came back from dinner i wanted to take pics but i noeiced one of the permature traps hanging from the leaf.....i touched it and it just fell off.
and they are stressed out due to overfeeding themself......(they caught 4 flys in 1 week).....
u think they are going to dormancy?

Default Re: Dormancy

the irregular leaf shaped ( all leaves ) suggests that it could be attacked by some bugs etc.....try looking underneath for unusual markings or abnormal color.

it also doesn`t seem to be getting enough sunlite which could have caused its overall straggly look. what kinda sun is it getting ? do avoid intense a`noon sun tho. try sunning it slowly if it isn`t used to the sun.
