FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I have a question for anyone who knows about Eastern Canadian weather and VFT's. I have heard of some people in Ontario keeping their Trumpet pitchers out all winter with no problems of them coming back from dormancy in the spring with no mulching. Is this possible for VFT's as well? Can you acclimitize them to get used to the winters here out East in Nova Scotia? I know you can with Sarrs from the Carolinas but with Fly Traps? It does dip to -10 Celsius or lower sometimes during winter.

Doubtful without mulch. Sarracenia are much hardier than flytraps

I wouldn't be too worried. I'm from Tasmania, Australia and it gets to -10c in the winter here, and my flytraps have always been fine outside. I only really bring them in if there's a frost predicted overnight, and even then that's me being protective. I know others around here let their flytraps go through frosts. I don't know much about your weather other than the temperatures you've told me, but I would think they'd be okay.

I'm sure someone who's not on the other side of the world would have a better understanding of Canada's climate than me though. :p
