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? ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/XeUSuZOIbYp-FL7mqLDgi8Lcn8xHik2i7pER7d9mT0s/EyAc7OA8SHWD7ssgvTesdQ.webp?size=large) ## 15개의 댓글 ### ElizabethF님이 2024-10-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/etxHxw1M7xUJ5n-5CC_0MeGtenzO0o91zHI5oyrI8bE/rNu3RQ_jRHakNFN4rRrJdA.webp?size=large) #### ElizabethF님이 2024-10-17에 답변했습니다. Also if they start getting leggy that typically means they need more light. You want them to stay more compact. #### Yvonne님이 2024-10-17에 답변했습니다. So I read it might also be in dormancy because of the colder weather. How do I know if that’s the case? #### Christine님이 2024-10-19에 답변했습니다. Beautiful! One plant I have loved but have never had any luck with. However, you have encouraged me to try again! #### DanishGramma님이 2024-10-19에 답변했습니다. 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 guthrie님이 2024-10-17에 댓글을 남겼어요.
