I got my first ping in early October. It lives on a NE facing window sill, facing a huge white wall that is in full sun all day.
It has been growing great and flowering like crazy. In the last two weeks it went into dormancy. I would have expected this earlier in the year, is this normal?

My experience is they do whatever they feel like. I have two varieties of ping in the same pot, one is full carnivorous, the other succulent as heck. The shifting of phases is what the plant naturally does and I just try and follow its lead. (Trickier if there are two types on the same pot, but I don't stress it too much).
Of course if you have more details on the ping specifics, that might help folks weigh in a bit. E.g., gigantea seems to minimize the succulent phase, other species may require it for long-term health.
This is my first Ping, and it arrived bare root back in early October. I believe that this is still carnivorous leaves, please correct me if I am incorrect. The question is when should I re-pot this plant? Does it have enough room in the current pot? How much space does it need? Thanks all.
Unless it's a bulb-forming species, it's not a dormancy, just a different phase of active growth. It can be triggered by environmental conditions, or because our cultivated environments do not match the actual conditions of Mexico/Central America it's just triggered by the plant deciding it needs to change phases.
