Advice please! First winter with pings in the upper Midwest. They’ve been living happily outside on my east-facing porch since I got them, but we’re slated to drop below 40 F later this week, so I think it’s time to bring them in. I think they are Mexican Butterwort varieties.

I’m not sure how to balance their winter temp needs (outside will soon be far too cold, inside will be too warm) and light and humidity needs (do they need the same light/humidity during their dormant period?).

How do y’all with pings successfully overwinter them?

Thank you!

Mine sits in a Southeast facing window and is very happy there 😊

So doing ok with normal house humidity/temps, even thru winter?

I’ve never put her outside honestly but this winter I’m going to try putting her in a critter aquarium with my sundews so I can control the temperature and humidity. I have a good Sansi plant lamp that aims right at it. It’s supposed to be a cold winter coming this year so I think my cold winter cactus will be next to the window
