Hello,
My VFT is very healthy and has about 15-20 traps on it now. When Autumn comes around, will i need to move my plant from the window sill in my kitchen where it recieves plenty of light when its time to go dormant. As you probably know, the weather in the uk is somewhat unpredictable. As its an indoor plant, will i need to move it outside when its time to go dormant? I have a shed with a window sill which i can place it on where it will still recieve plenty of light and it will be kept nice and cool. The winters here are again unpredictable, so i thought rather than potentially have it covered in snow, the shed may be a better option? It can be very cold here but the next day relatively mild for winter months.
My main question is, will it be too cold in the shed, or not cold enough? I assume that i cant keep it in the house as the heating will be on from November onwards no doubt.
any help is great thanks.
