Hi -
I know that S. oreophila goes dormant fairly early, even when kept in the same conditions as other Sarracenia, but is now a normal time?
I expected the plant to go dormant in August, but mine's pitchers have begun to turn yellow/brown/orange and spotted, and it has many green phyllodia emerging from the base. Is this typical for July?
Also - does this species release seed early in correspondance with its dormancy, or at the same time as other Sarracenia?
Thanks.
