Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've posted here about my VFT's! I just recently got two new ones, Wally and Purple Ambush, which are doing great. I also have two others, King Henry and Sawtooth, that I've had for about a year and two years. This september we had a baby and he came 3 weeks early so we weren't prepared and my VFT's were very neglected for a while. I totally forgot about them sitting outside in the heat and they almost died from lack of water, but I brought them inside and picked back up on the watering and they are now coming back great. A couple of questions about them.
First - do they look dormant? I've been keeping them in my kitchen windowsill against the glass in hopes that they would stay cool enough to go dormant, but I think it's too warm inside. Next winter I will have a better dormancy set up in a shed outside.
Second - I'm planning on repotting the King Henry this spring, should I divide it or leave it? It looks to me like it has at least 3 different growing points. Also I'm planning on potting it in a glazed ceramic pot that has a drainage hole. Will that pot provide good enough insulation for the plant to be outside in the sun, or will it get too hot?
