Hi guys I would like know where should I grow my flytraps indoors or outdoors the reason I'm asking is that I live in granbury Tx and the climate in the spring is warm and humid "cause the town is very close to a large lake so that can explain the humidity" and in the summer is very hot it can get to a 100 degrees and the winter is cold but no frost or snow so guys I would like to know what should I do.

Happy growing

Definitely outside, it's far easier to provide the light necessary out in full sun. Be careful to not let the pot overheat however, it sounds like it gets pretty hot where you live.

I've grown VFTs in dark green pots during 100 degree weather,never had an issue eith them getting too hot. Just make sure they have plenty of water.

Some shade at noon might help in the summer

100 degrees is no problem as long as they don't dry out.

It will be fine to grow them out side. I live in east Texas and I had mine outside in direct sun no shade all day. I had to check on them daily. some days I had to water once a day when it was over 90+ degrees and some time I could get away with every few day.

Just don't forget to slowly adapt your plants to their new conditions
