When is dormancy in Florida???

14 years ago

When is dormancy for VFL, all pitchers, and sundews? I would love if someone gave me a whole list of instructions to get them where they need to be right now for dormancy! I live in Florida if that helps!

Where do you live in Florida? Here in north Florida November/December is when my sarracenias, Venus Flytraps, and New Zealand sundews go dormant.

I like to keep the dead leaves trimmed off and water everything daily if it is hot. This past week it dropped to the low forties for a couple of nights and it gave me a respite.

Currently a few of my sarracenias and Marston Dragon drosera are still generating new foliage. The only thing I do is protect the blooms in early spring by moving them to a sheltered location away from frost.
