JRFxtreme Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hello Darlingtonia growers. I have some seedlings growing under lights and I'm wondering whether I can keep them under the lights and have them skip their first winter. I know you can do this with Sarracenia and its beneficial for them, but is it a problem with Darlingtonia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheila Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I can't see any reason why it should be a problem, though I have never tried it. If you have several seedlings try putting some under lights and give some a dormancy, that way you will be able to see just how much benefit the seedlings do get from it, if any.

JRFxtreme Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Thanks for the reply, but I was kind of hopeing for a definate answer. No one out there has tried skipping the first winter? Currently I have one of the pots outside and have the other in the terrarium so some are getting a winter regardless. Come on, I know some of you veterans out there have tried this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 'Fraid not, but I can see no reason why they wouldn't be like sarracenia and grow to maturity quicker skipping their first winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
