what kind of conditions is it growing in?
how much light, and what temperatures is it in?
if it isnt going dormant, it *should* be!
it should be fully dormant this time of year..
if you are keeping it in cool conditions (40-50 degrees F)
and lowish light, then yes, it is probably going dormant..which is good!
if you are keeping it at room temp (too warm) then it might *still* be going dormant, although those conditions arent ideal..
if its *not* being kept cool, do you have somewhere cool you could move it?

It gets at least 8hrs of sunlight a day. I live close to the equator so the temperature here ranges from 74deg - 90deg. It has been raining a lot for the past month, so i guess u can say that the amount of light its getting has decreased. No cool place to move it to. I guess the only place i can move it to is the fridge?
but i heard from some people that when they put their VFT in fridge, after mnonths, it die....
I remembered someone in this forum had post something regarded to fridge thingy. where i cant find it.... can post the url?
I can't see the pictures, so I'm going off the description.[b said:
A VFT "MAY" produce smaller leaves right before it goes into dormancy, but this may be a sign it is not happy also. How long have you had it, and if longer than a year has it had a dormancy?
Being that you're close to the equator the changes in season, light cycles, and temperature are proly not what your plant is expecting to initiate dormancy.
On a side note; my first year growng CP' I did the fridge dormancy thing. If done right the only way they would die is if they were already in bad shape to begin with.

What do u meant?
What do u meant?
OK, OK Calm down
I finally had to get on my girlfriends PC to see the picture. I don't see anything out of the ordinary. I wan't to make sure that you realize you have several growing points emerging. When my plants start new growing point they will do this from time to time.
What I was talking about with the fridge dormancy was if you plant was dying, which is clearly not the case, the a dormany may or may not save it.
