The plant is suffering drought stress, or it may be going dormant. During the growing season for Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia), April through September, the leaves will stay green if you maintain the air humidity above 50%, and you keep the soil moist at all times with distilled water. Leaf drop during the dormancy period is normal, and will help the plant grow even larger the next season. Do not be alarmed if the leaves turn brown at the edges in September and October. It means that your plant is entering normal dormancy. |
