Venus Flytrap and Sarracenia Dormancy in Seattle: Outdoor vs. Indoor Myths

Our Protocol: Outdoors in Full Sun

Seattle winters similar to ours (Oregon)—sometimes we're colder (less ocean moderation). We grow VFTs/Sarracenia outdoors year-round with basic winter protocols. See care sheets.

Why Outdoors?

VFTs native to North Carolina—experience rain, snow, freezes in wild. Our methods mirror natural conditions.

Flowering Myth Debunked

Flowering only "saps energy" in low light (indoors/shade). In full sun, plants produce ample energy for both flowers and leaves. Our outdoor VFTs flower annually and remain robust—see photographic essay.

Critical: Consistency

Pick one methodology and follow it all year. If growing indoors/shade, plants may not be healthy enough for outdoor winter dormancy. Our care sheets assume outdoor full-sun culture.
