Default

Usually when mine go dormant they start to lose leaves and create a hibernacula. The only time I have ever seen the wrinkled leaves and loss of dew is in the summer when temps get high and humidity gets low. I would try raising the water level a little and maybe raising the light up a little if you can. My pings have always enjoyed a high water table, more so than any of my other CP's. Some of the ones in my bog garden often sit in water almost up to the crown and grow great. If you can get the heat down under 55° you may be able to artificially induce dormancy. Its not as critical for pings as it is for Venus fly traps, but it does tend to lead to healthier, bigger plants and better flower production.
