Sarracenia and VFT Dormancy in Sweden (Zone 6, -30°C): Basement Fridge Method

At -30°C, plants die outdoors. Best: let dormancy start naturally outdoors, then move to 6°C (43°F) basement in sealed bags with barely damp soil when nights near freezing. Light unnecessary during dormancy. Cut pitchers off before storage. Return outdoors when temps reach 5–6°C.

Fridge works too but basement is ideal. 3–4°C better than 6°C but 6°C acceptable.
