Transitioning Carnivorous Plant Dome Seedlings to Windowsill Winter Care (Santa Cruz)

Winter Windowsill Protocol

Keep dome seedlings in south window: moist, cold, watch for mold. No need to remove dome abruptly.

Spring Transition

March: transplant to pots, move outdoors. Santa Cruz mild—minimal protection needed. Cover only if low 20s°F forecast. Nursery record lows colder than yours.
