Cody asks about skipping dormancy for seedlings under constant artificial conditions. Jeff Dallas: "most growers report that about two years the plants will grow with constant temperature and photoperiod. After that the growth gets very slow and even stops with no dormancy... plant's internal seasonal clock starts to kick in as they get older." Venus flytraps and hardy sundews do badly without dormancy (often lost without hibernacula). Cautious fertilization (Osmocote method from ICPS journal) better for accelerating growth.
Good Growing!
