aand it finally ended like that, anyone has any idea on how to save them? will it be possible to repot them without the need to give them dormancy, i living in Malaysia, and my place do not have winter or four seasons
 
Well...sarracienia need dormancy..no way around it.....
 
ive herd stories were people had cut the plants to soil level and left them in a fridge dor dormancy
 
I've never seen Sarracenia react like that before but then I grow mine in a temperate climate.

What substrate/medium did you repot them into? You want them in a low nutrient, acidic medium such as fertilizer free sphagnum peat moss.

From threads in the past from tropical growers Sarracenia will start putting out strange pitchers if they haven't been given dormancy after a number of years.

See this recent thread Dormancy in the Tropics for some ideas on how to handle dormancy issues.
 
Yep. Dormancy required eventually.

I'm sure you could devise some way to trigger dormancy by moving to less light gradually and maybe throwing them in a fridge at night until they go dormant then use the fridge method to store them 6-8 weeks. Just throwing out suggestions.

What's the worst that can happen to them that hasn't already happened to them?
 
Dormancy for 3month, at vegetable storage in fridge, will it be possible for them?
 
What was the time period for the plants decline - the time from when it was repotted to when the leaves turned brown?
 
Allen,

I am going to yield to NaN on this one. I would take his advice over my own.

It take a week for it to resume growing, but it start to have phylodia after that, i repotted them on mid of may, so i was thinking to wash them up, them put them into fridge gradually
