0 gillningarZone 8a here. I keep mine outdoors facing east. Into the garage for winter
2 gillningar3-4 months right? It’s currently fall what month should I put it in? November?
1 gillaI googled, “Venus flytraps are temperate plants and require a winter dormancy period from October to February, during which they stop actively growing.” Does that sound about right? I’m worried how it will get sun though.
1 gillaI put mine in the garage when temperatures are consistently around 40 degrees F in an east facing window. Bring back outdoors when temps about the same in the spring.
0 gillningarYou can get relatively inexpensive grow lights on amazon. Can be put on a timer. This is my set up for most of my pings and sundews.
0 gillningarI agree they should have lots of light and distilled or regular rain water. I’ve read tap water isn’t good for them.
3 gillningarPeople keep telling me not use any vase that doesn’t have any sort of minerals that could potentially cause it to die. Plastic and glazed pots! Hmmm… I hope to see more comments so we both learn lol.
1 gillaI use all plastic or glazed. No terra cotta.
