FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

This winter for dormancy I kept some of my traps inside under Yescom panels with bi-weekly Maxsea spraying, inside with natural window lighting only, and outside in coolers. It’s interesting to see that even under led lights the plants had some kind of a mild dormancy. The past few weeks the traps under led lights have started growing upright and had growth spurts. The inside plants with window lighting only are starting to come out of dormancy. They’re making wide, bright green leaf blades with teeny traps. The outside traps are still fully dormant. I’ll repot them back into the same coolers soon and they’ll probably show some signs of life in May. They’ll all (except the reds and Alien-type) go outside next month once the freezes are over. I’m in zone 6a/6b. This winter was relatively mild except for the handful of extreme freezing days. Except for one outside cooler last year, I’ve always let my plants go dormant inside (55°-65°F) near a window.
