This is D. hybrida. It's looked exactly the same since I first got it last June. It's growing under my lights (which have seasonal duration adjustments) in peat/sand and household conditions. Anybody know what it will take to wake the hibernaculum up? Thanks.

It should be growing by now, mine certainly are outside. What's your current photoperiod?

Currently, the photoperiod is 13.5 hours.

They are saying theirs is has been awake long enough to grow carnivorous leaves.

Maybe putting it outside would help. If that is not an option it could be the light intensity or length that is causing an issue.

I've heard stories of D. hybrida that are really weird with their dormancy periods, especially under lights. Don't worry about it, it'll probably wake up in June or something like that.

So more light and more patience but no death metal? Okay, I can do that. Thanks, all.

D. x hybrida can certainly be a bit weird with dormancy. I know it likes to go dormant mid-summer, and mine will often wake up briefly in the fall before going dormant again for winter.

Does this seem like a good setup for outdoors?

Not what you would expect...

Mixing small amounts of miticide

worm in substrate?

Unkown sarracenia

Nepwnthes hamata help, potential fungus growth?
