Frozen Venus Flytraps in Pennsylvania: Dormancy Management

PA grower left VFTs outside; media frozen 5–7 days. New growth shows rippled edges. Asked about moving indoors to cold room (70s°F house, unheated room) or ending dormancy early (since October).

Advice

• Don't leave outside—PA gets extreme cold.
• Move to cold window indoors; they'll experience cooler temps near glass.
• Frozen state won't hurt; VFTs expect dieback.
• Keep dormant until mid-March.
