jolantru A state of crunchiness?

There should be a ‘growing event’ for ‘wilting’. (And that’s just an oxymoron, isn’t it?)

I think my inner intuition is right. I should stick with edibles. :P

    Sarracenia have dormant period. Your plant is probably tired. Stick with it. Try to give it a shorter photoperiod and cooler temperatures. Also, do you know what kind of sarracenia it is?

    Well regardless of the species, all american pitcher plants like to go dormant for three to four months. Sarracenia is a temperate genus. Like i said it probably wants a nap, try giving it fewer hours of light and chilly temperatures if you can, especially at night. Just dont throw it out, it may surprise you in a couple months.
