Question: I have several VFTs that have “died”, I assume they went dormant. How do I care for them during dormancy? Water? Light vs dark? Temperature? How long before I should see new growth? Or when do I know they are truly dead? (Pic is the one still alive.)

Got a Venus fly trap today and would love any tips! I’ve only had luck with pings as far as carnivorous plants go, and have killed a few in the past. I’ve got it in long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite/pumice, watering with distilled. It’s currently in my growth chamber under a humidity dome for acclimation. I did notice the leaves were a bit wonky, but I think it’s due to some root rot it had before I moved it into the new moss.

Can anyone let me know if my plant is dying? I got her in April and she has new pitchers. When it was growing the leaves turned red but now the leaves are turning yellow. I haven’t changed anything. Its in a small green house with grow lights on top and I haven’t changed anything a spray system that sprays water occasionally for the humidity.

We have had these two for 4 months. I’ve read that I should put them away for the winter in the refrigerator. What do I need to keep them happy and alive in the house?

I use the bucket method for my vft during these 100+ days. Evaporation is slower but still using a lot. Would like to get away from buying bottles. Does anyone have a rec for a cost effective pitcher or an aquarium setup? Thanks!
