Is my vft going into dormancy? About two weeks ago, the leaves stopped growing (the last one was deformed. Only had teeth on one side) and tiny leaves started to grow.
It gets at least 8hrs of sunlight a day. I live close to the equator so the temperature here ranges from 74deg - 90deg. It has been raining a lot for the past month, so i guess u can say that the amount of light its getting has decreased. No cool place to move it to. I guess the only place i can move it to is the fridge?

I can't see the pictures, so I'm going off the description.
A VFT "MAY" produce smaller leaves right before it goes into dormancy, but this may be a sign it is not happy also. How long have you had it, and if longer than a year has it had a dormancy?
Being that you're close to the equator the changes in season, light cycles, and temperature are proly not what your plant is expecting to initiate dormancy.
On a side note; my first year growng CP' I did the fridge dormancy thing. If done right the only way they would die is if they were already in bad shape to begin with.
I finally had to get on my girlfriends PC to see the picture. I don't see anything out of the ordinary. I wan't to make sure that you realize you have several growing points emerging. When my plants start new growing point they will do this from time to time.
What I was talking about with the fridge dormancy was if you plant was dying, which is clearly not the case, the a dormany may or may not save it.
