I have a sarr I just got, and it may be dormant or dead. It looks dormant, because the cut pitchers are still red at the bottom, but the crown is brown. then i have another i have the same. Ill post pics soon enough
Coming out of dormancy they often do look like that. I have two and both had every trap cut low for winter; when I brought them out of dormancy the rhyzome was discolored but the trap stubs were still red and green. I repotted it, watered it, put it outside, and after about a month, it's now growing new pitchers.
Don't give up on them unless they start rotting at the rhyzome (like what Jefforever said). I've seen some pretty sad-looking sarr and VFT plant stubs come up strong by late Spring. The rhyzome being brown could just be dirty, we also don't know what species the sarr is; it might be normal for that kind. If the rhyzome is mushy it's dying. If it's not mushy but it's a little more pliable than it should be, there's still hope. If it's solid, it's most likely healthy.

Hey, they all look like crap right out of dormancy. If I have to answer another question wondering why my Sarracenia looked like hell in January, I'm finding a clock tower -- so help me . . .
