Dogs Uproot Dormant Bog Plants: Resilience and Recovery

SoCal grower's dogs scattered dormant Darlingtonia, Dionaea 'Red Dragon', Sarracenia (leucophylla, minor, purpurea venosa, Judith Hindle, psittacina). Replanted in fresh media, roots intact, chewed leaves trimmed. Watered with 40°F water. Asked: survive? Keep dormant or wake?

Prognosis

Excellent. Dormant plants are incredibly resilient. Sarracenia Northwest routinely bareroots, divides, and holds in water buckets for days during March divisions.

Most Sensitive: Darlingtonia

But dormant = tolerant. Just keep wet, away from dogs.

Action

Leave dormant. No need to wake. Monitor for mold if temps rise above freezing.
