    Picked up a couple of these at Walmart in August which were on sale. Watched a few videos on Youtube to find out how to care for them. One died right away (<2 weeks) but the other has done well. Recently I have noted new growth in the center but the stems are very short. I am assuming this is partly due to cooling temps and fewer insects for food.

    Anyone have any experience with these plants? Thanks in advance!

    Thanks! That article said it is common for the plant to die back to the rhizome as the temp drops. All is well, at least that's what I am taking from that article.
