Moruga Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hi all, This is my first winter keeping sarracenia, which I house in a polytunnel. The weather down here in East Sussex has been very mild,with only a couple of gentle frosts . How does a mild winter affect the plants? Does day length also contribute to their dormancy? If we get a late cold snap,will early growth need protection, or can they just be left to get on with it? Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 A mild winter for us would be bitterly cold in Alabama and Northern Florida. This is what they're experiencing in the wild at the moment: https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/apalachicola/32320/daily-weather-forecast/405 Daylight is the important thing really. They're tough though, so don't worry about a cold snap in February or March, they'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moruga Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks mate, It never occurred to me to think of the weather they would get in Florida. I need to get my head round how tough these plants are. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
