Yes. Triggered by less sunlight and colder temperatures about 50°-60°F (beginning in Fall if outdoors).
If plant is outside and temperatures fall below 20°F or if the temperature doesn't go below 50°F then put in a cold area like a basement during dormancy period. If you do not have a basement then use the fridge method to induce dormancy:
•cut off pitchers about an inch from rhizome
•clean off roots completely bare
• wrap roots in damp sphagnum moss
• put plant in plastic bag
• put bag in the refrigerator
*This should be done at the end of October and brought out Mid-February.
