I will soon be moving some plants from my terrarium to the backyard. I will have them in a watering tray and have the water at a 1'' high. Each of the plants will be in either 3'' or 6'' plant cups. I have the right soil media, so I don't need to worry about that. I will mist the plants once a day and always keep the soil moist. They will recive 2-4 hours of direct sun and about 4 more hours of dappled light. :)

The following plants I will soon be growing outside consist of:

3 Typical VFT,
1 Red Dragon VFT,
1 Dente VFT,
1 S.Rubra,
2 S.Flava,
1 S. Puprerura,
1 White Topped Pitcher Plant (I know the latin name, but am to lazy to go look it up right now)
and soon some Darlingtonia seeds. :D

I concur with Dr Daniel PHD

When i move my VFT's (i don't have you other plants ) from indoors (under lights) they go straight into my greenhouse :)

One thing i would do if there outside and not in a greenhouse is check the weather each day (we don't have to do this in the UK cause we know its always cloudy or raining :( )

If they been in a terrarium under artificial light they need to be harden off and introduce to natural light to acclimate!

I never bother they go from inside under lights to the greenhouse or the other way round no problems here :)

But do what you think is best for your plants
