The plants are dormant or about to hit dormancy anyway. There&#8217;s still a few plants that look okay here and there, such as a few of the leucos and their hybrids &#8211; but for the most part the sleep has begun.\u00a0I am still doing a lot of cleaning and organizing, and will be continually doing so throughout the course of the winter. I&#8217;ll probably bust the katana blade out later to do some slicing of old foliage&#8230; that should be fun.<\/p>\n<p>During this time period, I keep the Sarracenia on the dryish side &#8211; not watering as much or as frequently. I just make sure that their soil is still moist\/damp, but I don&#8217;t leave them constantly sitting in water as I would during active growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The cool thing is that the Nepenthes are sending out pitchers, so I&#8217;ll share a few photos of those in upcoming posts. I am also seeing pitchers grow and open up on the Cephalotus, as well as the Heliamphora. I will share those in a bit. For now here are a few photos of how things are goin&#8217; in the Asylum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8348\/8177692126_61977966cc_z.jpg\" alt=\"Dormancy approcaches\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" \/><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Plants starting to go dormant.
