John asks about mild winter with persistent Sarracenia leaves. Jeff Dallas: "Many Sarracenia, especially hybrids, only partially loose their leaves during the winter... loosing leaves isn't what indicates dormancy. Total lack of new growth is the sign." Dormancy triggered by photoperiod, cool temps, internal clock. Cut dead/brown material for hygiene. First new growth typically mid-late March.
Good Growing!
