just wondering

do all the leaves on top dry out? is that how you know for sure?
or something else?
what if the top bit (leaves and traps) died?
does that mean the full plant itself is dead? as in the roots?

“Jang jang jang jang, who's dead this time?”

It's all about the rhizome. What you see above the soil is meaningless believe it or not.
