In this video, I talk about what I do for my Venus Flytraps around March when I take them out of Dormancy. I give some recommendations to know if repotting is necessary, and talk a little bit about the media (mix) that one can use.

hello, where in Canada? love your french accent🙂(I could be wrong 😅) do you think I can leave it outside (Montreal) until the first snow, or do I have to transfer it to a warmer location (like indoors on a shelf near a window) ? thanks for the video👍

I'm interested in learning more about dormancy in a garage. I live in zone 6. Temperatures can drop to -10F/-23C. Do you add mulch as well to protect the plants?

I live close to Toronto, Ontario, but my garage is attached to my house, thus it stays close to freezing temperature in the winter, even if it’s -20°C outside. I do not add mulch, but larger pots may help protect the roots from the cold.

When you store in the garage for dormancy, do you provide light?

Год назад

Yes I do. I installed a small LED panel. It’s not much, but it’s sufficient. I also successfully used the fridge for dormancy. In that case, they are kept in the dark. However, from my experience, the plant needs to be already dormant to be kept in the dark.

I just brought my plant down from the loft / attic. Most of the plant was black apart from one or two green traps and some green stems coming up out of the soil. Unfortunately the green traps don’t respond anymore when I try to feed them (I only brought them out a couple days ago) so those traps are obviously dead (yet still green and actually look healthy, mouths open, a fairly strong red colour inside the traps etc, but stiff and unresponsive). Is this normal behaviour immediately out of dormancy? If those green traps are indeed dead, would it help / make any difference if I just cut the whole thing back down to just above the soil to free up space and allow light to get in? Like just straight up buzz-cut the whole thing or…? As you may have noticed… plants *in general* are a new thing for me…

I wouldn’t worry about the old traps not reacting/closing on a dormant plant. Even when they do close, they are generally very slow on dormant plants. I wouldn’t consider the trap as “dead” though. If they’re green, they can be useful for photosynthesis. Cutting them could make it worse. Instead, make sure to trim any dead ones (the black leaves and traps).
