Venus Flytraps & Scarlet Belle: Safer Fungicide Choice, Winter Acclimation, Dormancy

NC grower with new flytraps (some from Lowes in terrariums, some bare-root from Sarracenia Northwest) asked: which Safer fungicide? Repot Lowes plants now or acclimate? Keep all fungus-free for spring.

Fungicide

Safer Brand Fungicide (sulfur only, no insecticide). Active ingredient: sulfur.

Lowes Terrarium Plants (Mid-Winter)

  1. Repot now into 50/50 peat/perlite.
  2. Keep cool (above freezing) in window/unheated space.
  3. Acclimate: half-open lids few days → fully open.
  4. ~April 1: move outside with other plants.
  5. Trim poor foliage—spring brings all new growth.
  6. Preventative sulfur spray.

Outdoor Plants

Keep wet, trim dead, let dormancy run. Cover only during hard freezes (daytime below freezing). Follow caresheets/e-book/video for growing season.
