FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello, I want to ask about my Sarracenia Barba which is one of my first CP so it experienced some negligence.

First thing to note is I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. A tropical country without winter. I read that it should be stored in a cool place to induce dormancy. But in here all of the grower never induce dormancy n just keep them outside all the times. Same as VFT. A discussion in the local forum even mentioned that locally growed Sarra/VFT here (from seedlings or hardening) never need a dormancy & thats still unbelievable by foreigner when they bring the topics. So What do you guys think about this? Because now there is 4 Sarracenia plants in my house.

And for this Barba's problem
Its resume :

- Its arrived 3 months ago when Jakarta is under bizzare phenomenon that the temperature suddenly dropped cold during the night until morning. Maybe around 25C-28C/77F-83F
- The media is pure LFS with Perlite with water tray
- I put it in a bright place but not fullsun
- Due to my inexperience as CP grower, I give it foliar spray with weakened solution and some drops of Hydrogen Peroxide/H2O2 into the media
- After sometimes, the leaves started to brown from the tips around the hood and from its base near the rhizome
- Now its all brown n I removed all of the dead leaves
- I checked the roots multiple times during the process, 1month ago, the roots is still light brown and a greeny roots on the other end. Until now the roots still looks the same.

Sadly it’s most likely dead! There’s always next time
