I just got a sar. purpurea and the tops of the pithcers are dry and the bottom is still reddish green is this dormancy? and when will it start growing again?
I got me a purparea from lowes and I was too lazy to acclimate it so I gave it full sun and I repotted it and its leaves turned bright red.
some of its leaves withered but its now forming a new pitcher thats nice and red.
Mine has come out of dormancy as well. Did you say it was reddish green? It could be S.purpurea ssp. venosa, that's what I have. If it's green with red veining, then it is (if the pitcher is a reddish color with the lid being greenish with red veining, it's red form).
yes, this is an extremely slow growing plant; most guides will tell you not to cut off the leaves unless absolutely necessary because new leaves are so slow to grow.
So...have patience! (Sucks, I know, but there it is)
