sarrs after a 2 months break

[sooxiwei]

It went into dormancy after I repotted it, lose about 4 pot of them, this is the only survivor...a huge loss to me since I have 5 big bulb with various small one in every pot...have introduced water tray to it after one day of awakening it through repotting, left under shady place for about a week and now introduce it with morning sun, so far it show no sign of dying off like all others... no growth at the moment...

how much longer should I place it under such condition? Or should I throw it out under the open area with full sun under the semi shady raining season?

Advice is much appreciated as I'm not prepared to loss this last pot with only two bulb less...

i got one sarracenia too just finish their cold dormancy, i let them stay under shade cloth for 2weeks, then i just switch them to open sunlight space, so far nothing visible growing yet....

With sarracenias, I just give them dry dormancy. Put in a dry shady place, water once a week. Less chance of rot and much higher chance of survival compared to cold dormancy. After new shoots emerge, I return them to their normal growing area straighaway. They seem to need bright sun to start active growth.

do the dry dormancy works well?

if it does,maybe i can have a try

[sooxiwei]

I'm using the dry dormancy method as taught by the master staying near to my house, so far, I've tried dumping one out under full sun, died after 1 day, this one, introducing sun light very slowly to it just in case it died off like the other one

update,

today I saw the bulb of the one on the left turning brownish...going to lose it again I guess...only hope is the one on the right...may I throw it under full sun...

paphio, can I know whether you give them water tray or not after introducing it to full sun? thanks a lot

I don't use water tray. I grow all my CPs hanging.... Here's how my Sarr purpurea/purpurea hybrid looks right now:


My area receives bright light from morning to about 3-4pm. If I put it in my full sun area, it will be too dry.

cool!i love ur purperea!!!
about saying they dry when u put in sun,do u give them water tray that
time?

I grow all my sarras in this area (not really full sun, but bright enough for them to develop nice colouration). My full sun area is really hot because I grow on cement flooring. I don't grow any CPs in full sun, really. All grow hanging 24/7, 52 weeks a year.. Except a couple of rafflesiana, Miranda and kuchingensis that are too big.
