[QUOTE="Ranitomeya, post: 278177, member: 6796"] Winter through spring is the best time to order North American pitcher plants because this is the time they're dormant and most easily transplanted. I doubt the brown coloration is the result of lack of dormancy. A symptom of needing dormancy would be decreasing plant size and poor growth, not browning. Death is not an immediate result of witholding dormancy, it's the result of an extremely gradual decline in vigor resulting from lack of dormancy. Dormancy is not something you can suddenly start, you have to give it gradual decreases in temperature and number of hours of light. It's most likely too late to start dormancy now unless you still have two to three months before spring. The moss is decorative and is not found a resident of boggy conditions that the carnivorous plants are found in. If it does well, its thick growing habit can easily smother your slow-growing carnivorous plants. [/QUOTE]
