I take them out on my patio for sunshine very day (4-6 hours) and make sure they stay moist. Is there something else I should do? ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/XeUSuZOIbYp-FL7mqLDgi8Lcn8xHik2i7pER7d9mT0s/EyAc7OA8SHWD7ssgvTesdQ.webp?size=large) ## 15件のコメント ### ElizabethFさんが2024-10-17にコメントしました If you want to see them close, you can feed it a rehydrated bloodworm. The traps die after a few closes so I would only feed a few. I wouldn’t feed it more than once a month. Keep it standing in distilled or rain water. Also you’ll want a soil made specifically for carnivorous plants or sphagnum moss. It needs bright light. A lot of bright light. If they’re getting enough light, their traps will typically turn a bright red. I have mine under a grow light for 16 hours. I’ve attached a picture for reference. Please ignore the dead traps. It needs cleaned out but I hate doing it since it’s difficult without triggering other traps. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/etxHxw1M7xUJ5n-5CC_0MeGtenzO0o91zHI5oyrI8bE/rNu3RQ_jRHakNFN4rRrJdA.webp?size=large) #### ElizabethFさんが2024-10-17に返信しました Also if they start getting leggy that typically means they need more light. You want them to stay more compact. #### Yvonneさんが2024-10-17に返信しました So I read it might also be in dormancy because of the colder weather. How do I know if that’s the case? #### Christineさんが2024-10-19に返信しました Beautiful! One plant I have loved but have never had any luck with. However, you have encouraged me to try again! #### DanishGrammaさんが2024-10-19に返信しました Dormancy is just around the corner in November when it gets cold enough to trigger it. They will look half dead and the traps will be closer to the ground with shorter leaves. I live where they grow wild so I keep them outside all winter and they love it. They will even freeze solid sometimes 🥶 ### Wallace guthrieさんが2024-10-17にコメントしました Amazing ### Wallace guthrieさんが2024-10-17にコメントしました It looks great, but you might want to repot it #### Yvonneさんが2024-10-17に返信しました I just ordered some pots with saucers from Amazon lol. ### StormLoverさんが2024-10-17にコメントしました Same here... also want to know if it's dormant... 🤔 #### c.catさんが2024-10-17に返信しました this is from a care guide that i got from sarracenia northwest. great website, very informative, and the carnivorous plants they sell are amazing! highly recommend checking thrm out :) #### c.catさんが2024-10-17に返信しました forgot the image, sorry lol ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/kD4THHB2xcLqDKRuHBa3MmDYxLorWKP7RRswqL0yZyo/uofjkdg0R1ur8luyEhoB6A.webp?size=large) ### StormLoverさんが2024-10-18にコメントしました Tysm for info! #### c.catさんが2024-10-18に返信しました no prob ### Wanda’s Weedsさんが2024-10-18にコメントしました I so want one of those beauties! #### Wanda’s Weedsさんが2024-10-22に返信しました Sending hope and best wishes your way! --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
