FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

My S.maroon (or at least chelsonii) hasn’t woke up yet and it doesn’t show any signs or whatsoever. It was the last one of the plants to go dormant so maybe it will wake? The plant went dormant one month after the others I think. Now one month has gone from when the other plants showed signs of waking and S.maroon doesn’t want to wake up. I thought that the problem is the old media but there are VFT seedlings that woke up just fine. Am I impatient or there’s a problem?

If it's not awake digging it up can't hurt, so I'd check the rhizome if I were you. If it's brown and squishy it's toast, nice and firm it could still be okay.

I don’t think it is dying because it has a lot of pitchers that remained but the kinda turn brown very slowly. I want to repot it but I don’t want to disturb the VFT seedlings so I will see if it wakes up. I will give it one more month maximum and if it doesn’t do anything I will repot it in a bigger pot with new fresh sphagnum.

There is the plant

I can finally see a tiny nub that is new growth but I don’t see something else and it grows very slowly. So maybe there is a problem that I can’t understand.

Finally it woke for good. There are a lot of new pitchers but they are smaller than the old pitchers.
