Cephalotus Winter Dormancy: Natural Slowdown in Low Light

A Cephalotus in an African violet pot on a UV-filtered south window stopped growing after 1.5 months; one pitcher opened, then nothing.

Explanation

With only natural winter light, the plant is likely entering dormancy. Cephalotus from SW Australia experiences distinct seasons. Pitcher production ceases in winter, though leaves may still form.
