Planting Clearance Venus Flytrap Bulbs: Pot Now, Keep Cold

Grower bought VFT bulbs in sealed bags (no sprouts) from Lowe's; Sarracenia bulbs already sprouted. Southern CA: sunny days, 55°F nights.

Advice

• Pot VFT bulbs now; keep cold until spring.
• Method: ice chest with ice bottles/packs (swap 12h), 40–50°F inside. Moist soil, damp paper towels under pots. Open by day for air/light; close at night.
• Refrigerators dry plants and breed mold.
• Outdoor CA temps may be too mild for deep dormancy.
