Jack (Redding, CT) grows temperate plants on porch (5 hrs direct sun, 2" water). D. binata and D. tracyi struggling; Sarracenia and flytraps fine. Asked about terrarium growing with garage dormancy.
Jeff Dallas: Details matter. D. binata has many forms—some tropical (multifida), some temperate (dichotoma, T-form). D. tracyi (FL panhandle) is distinctly temperate, needs strong summer sun, cool winters. In Oregon, it looks best late summer.
Recommendation: Keep outdoors—warmer summer temps will help. Protect from heavy rain. Allow more adaptation time. Tropical D. binata forms might suit terrariums, but D. tracyi is a poor terrarium candidate (size/shape/light needs). Terrarium setup is beyond this format.
Good Growing!
