Temperate Sundew for Fridge Dormancy in Terrarium: Drosera intermedia Best Bet

Portland, OR apartment grower with terrarium (VFT, pitcher plant, fridge dormancy) wants a temperate sundew on same schedule. No cool garage—only terrarium light or fridge.

Recommendation

Drosera intermedia—tolerates cool (not deep cold) dormancy, grows well in terraria.

Reality Check

Terrarium temperate CP culture is high-effort, low-success. Fungus, weak light, no true seasons. Like growing strawberries in a terrarium—possible but silly. Outdoors = easy, beautiful, self-dormant.

Alternative

Tropical CPs (Nepenthes, Drosera, Pinguicula, Utricularia) thrive in terraria without dormancy hassles.
