Hello all,
I have a new, very young purpurea (less than 3" across) that was producing new pitchers in July. In the past few weeks, however, I haven't seen a single new pitcher emerge. Some of the older pitchers are slowly turning brown, which I understand is normal. Should the plant still be producing new pitchers at this point in the growing season or is something wrong?
Thanks for any advice you guys can provide.
P.S. I have several flytraps and a cape sundew growing right next to the purpurea (sharing the same watering tray) and they are doing very well, producing new traps and tentacles, so I assume the growing conditions are decent. We had some relatively cold Bay Area weather for a couple of weeks recently (low 60's high), so perhaps it is entering dormancy?
