Dormancy and mild weather.

Recommended Posts

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.

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.
