This pitcher is my first carni plant. I've read that I should only repot once it's gone into its dormant phase. She's currently in my kitchen window and seems happy as she's grown several more pitchers, but I'm wondering if I should move her somewhere cooler? I'm in the UK and the central heating system keeps the temp fairly constant, so wasn't sure if she'd go dormant if I left her where she is?

    For my indoor carni's I move them from a south window to north. It also happens to be my office which I don't heat. The lower light level is most important. Though if you can keep them cooler it's a plus

    She is in a south window, so I'll move her to a north one in a cooler room. How long do you usually leave it before moving them back to a south window? Would be 2 or 3 months? Thanks
