Question
darlintonia
Allexperts,
I have a darlintonia that has been growing inside under lights. How do I get
this plant to go dormant during the dormant period. Is it okay to put it outside
when the frost comes? Should put it in the fridge instead?The Darlintonia is a
Coastal type if that helps at all. I have attached a picture of the plant as well.
Sincerely,
Weylin Callery
AnswerHi Weylin,
You've done very well with this plant. You have a fairly cold climate during the winter, and Darlingtonia is zone 8. If you just move it to a colder north window for the mid-winter it should be fine. If it experiences temperatures in the 40's at night along with the short days, it will go dormant.
Good Growing!
