Here are some pics of my Sarrs going dormant. Pitchers fall over more readily than in summer.

They often turn brown in the center of the pitcher around areas where many bugs have been digested. One of mine actually snapped right in the middle.

They still help me control the local yellow jacket population though, even while going dormant. That poor guy's been trying to get out of there all morning.

On the left are S. 'Judith Hindles', and on the right/back are S. x Catesbaeis. The little guy in the front right is an S. Purpurea ssp Venosa.

How long have you had those sarracenias? I have had mine for about 6 months(diana's delight) but the pitchers are nowhere close to being wide enough for a bee to fit in it.

I've had those for 2 years, and they were fairly big when I got them.

Yous Judith should be able to catch a bee next year or the year after. They grow to maturity in I think 3-4 years.

Just keep microwaving the plant about 30 minutes a day for the next 6 months and it should be HUGE!

I think I'll put them in my washing machine so they get more humidity.

That's an incredible idea! I can't believe I haven't thought that one up myself!
