I bought a VFT in early december and im growing it in a terrarium. I was wondering if it will still need dormancy this late in the year and what will happen if it doesnt go dormant.
This late in the season I really wouldn't worry about it. It's possible that it alread started domancy depending on where you got it but if it's growing new leaves (traps) then that's unlikely.
Plan on domancy next autumn/winter but this year, just enjoy the plant.
Other little tips you may find helpfull... Make sure you're giving it distilled or rain water. (RO water will work too but if you don't know what RO means then don't worry about it) Keep it in some kind of water tray and keep about an inch or so of the forementioned water in it. IF it starts to grow a flower stalk, feel free to cut it off at about an inch or two height, making a flower stalk can really tire out the plant.
Thanks, thats what i thought, and I got it at a nursery along with 2 other vft's and some sundews for free because they were dieing. Only 1 Vft survived but all the sundews lived.
