My plants are just beginning to come out of dormancy as I see new growth on most. I was wondering if they looked good and healthy?
The sarracenia purpurea has shown a lot of growth over the past year (I have included a picture of when I first got it and now)! The picture of a plant that looks like there's nothing in the pot is a drosera, I don't know if it's still alive.


This image is after







The last picture does seem like it is wet, but it was just watered a little and I will be repotting it into peat and perlite.

Your sarr looks fine. Most of your flytraps look like their leaves burned or froze, but they should grow back from the rhizomes. Your sundew appears to have some tiny new growth- assume it's alive and keep it under whatever conditions it prefers.
What kind of sundew is that? Many Drosera don't actually need to go dormant.

I can't remember, it was either a capensis or maybe a binata.
Thanks for the help, I think the fly traps are alright and haven't frozen as it has been kept over freezing as it's in a greenhouse, maybe it went under 0 degrees C for a small amount of time.

I forgot to add one, does this one look good too? There is new growth but the others have died off mostly, I most of the dead brown off and left the red to hopefully photosynthesise.

Honestly looks like stuff got too dry to me. Getting under 0 C a few times should not be an issue, unless the plants were not sitting in water at the time.

They wouldn't be sitting in water, every few days or so I checked the top of the soil. They may have ran out of water then... I'll keep them a bit more moist now. I hope all of them are fine, they seem to all be alive and growing except the drosera which might have some life still in it.

VFT's look fine, most my leaves are gone from last year as I let my plants get a nice hardy frost in the fall. They will start shooting up new leaves like crazy soon.

If it's still alive from the greenhouse falling over yesterday!

If your plants are outside cheng tbe winter, they should be shirring in at least some water.
