Grower's S. flava indoors (68°F) showing black/brown pitchers. Asked how to help dormancy.

Steps

• Cut off brown parts.
• Plant should make phyllodia (flat leaves).
• Keep in window for natural photoperiod; soil moist not soggy.
• Stay right at window for cool temps (ideal 30s–40s°F).
• Move outside in spring—indoor sun insufficient.
