Follow-Up: Venus Flytrap Dormancy in Puerto Rico

Gabriel repeated his question about Venus flytrap dormancy in Puerto Rico (tropical, no winter), referencing Chris's ice-chest method and concerns about cold shock, gradual transition, and thermometer use.

Jeff Dallas responded that the question went to the pool and asked if Gabriel received help. If not, he offered to assist via follow-up.

Good Growing!
