Young Sarracenia purpurea Leaf Dieback: Normal Dormancy Transition

Assessment

Leaf loss in late November is typical for a plant from low light entering dormancy. S. purpurea ssp. purpurea may retain some leaves, but dieback after repotting and light change is normal.

Care

• Cut brown leaves as they appear.
• Keep outdoors; protect small pot when temps drop below mid-20s°F.
• New growth expected April–May.

Good Growing!
