Dan5 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi all, I stumbled upon this forum to try to find out more about the few plants I have, looks really interesting from what I've seen so far. I have Nepenthes Alata, an unknown Pinguicula and a Dionaea all doing pretty well just on a windowsill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Welcome to CPUK. Remember the Dionaea needs a cool winter dormancy, otherwise it will die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan5 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi Richard, I did read in several places that not giving dormancy is not good for Dionaea. Retailers do a great job of making you think they are indoor tropical plants! I plan to keep mine outside in a small greenhouse over winter raised off the ground, its quite mild here in Essex so hopefully that will do the trick. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
