Winter Care for Temperate Carnivorous Plants in Eastern NC

Key Distinction

Identify your sundew: if temperate (like flytrap/Sarracenia), it stays outside. If tropical, it needs warmth and light indoors.

Venus flytraps are native to NC; Sarracenia range further north. Leave outside with mulch/tarp over pots. Keep soil moist, half-normal tray water.

Reply with sundew species and potting details for specific advice.
