FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi guys so I'm wondering if my plants are dormant as I'm too inexperienced to tell..
They are definately smaller but the traps still close rather fast.
They where far bigger during summer!

Those look like very healthy plants. So I would say your plants are entering dormancy.

As far as trap operation indicating dormancy... I live in Las Vegas, and my winters are very mild (temps only occasionally dip below 20F). While some of my traps stop opening and closing during the winter, most of them still operate (albeit sluggishly)... and the most vigorous ones continue to feed throughout the year with hair trigger reflexes.

Thanks for the reply! I've noticed little differences but by what I've read I also thought entering!
I'm giving them a few days outside! They better hurry up tho as want to repot them!!

It shouldn't be a problem for you to repot your plants now. No need to wait for them to become fully dormant. But I would leave all the divisions outside when you are done. They will sleep better that way.
