<span style='color:Teal'>Hey there!
I want to ask to those of you that cultivate Sarracenia plants in the tropics, how are your Sarracenia dealing with dormancy right now? I mean, i want to hear about your experience.
My plants started to got dormant by late last November (notice that i am in Puerto Rico i the Caribbean Sea). This year they produced only very few winter leaves, but they stopped the growth entirely.
And a couple of weeks ago they came back to growth, so i guess they already broke their dormancy.
Bellow you will see some of my plants with new growth. The pics are not of a high quality, but i wanted to share them with you, guys.
Here is a Sarracenia Brunswick Beauty, that turned into a faded red, and green last fall, and now has started to produce new pitchers that are vivid red:
Bellow you can see my biggest S. Tarnok. The 2 years that i have had it, it has always been a plant that only reaches from 4 to 6 inches of height, now look at the bigger pitcher that is 13 inches tall. I am so proud of she:
Here is my S. Courtii. It has always been a small plant, no more than 4 inches of leaf-span, but it is always a happy sight to see it come back from winter:
And bellow is my bigger S. Scarlet Belle. This was the first Sarracenia i had and each year gets bigger and bigger, as well as the pot that i have to find to re-pot it:
So, guys, tell us about your experience with Sarracenia dormancy in the tropics. And to those that are in norther regions, is it too early for sarracenias up there to dreak dormancy?
Have a great evening,
Jorge Joel...
