Immediately. Thats how you know its after dormancy.

Okay, so let's say you have a couple of VFTs (or Sarrs or whatever) sleeping away in your fridge, and you decide that spring has sprung, and it's time for your little buddies to awaken from their long winters nap. So you pull them from the fridge, pot them up, and stick them outside in the warm sunshine. How long until they start growing again? Assuming things are really and truly nice and spring-like? A couple of weeks will usually do it, unless you get a cold snap, and then all bets are off. However, I have had some particularly stubborn plants take a month or more to break dormancy, even though they were under what I would normally think to be nearly ideal conditions.

thanks! i did think it was a few weeks

A few weeks back most of my VFTs suddenly put out a bunch of late winter growth, lots of new leaves but tiny traps. They've been getting a few hours of direct sun for a couple of weeks (when weather allows) and most of that growth has withered somewhat. Not surprised. The next round will be hardened and should be fine. The Sarrs are trickling in, a couple have put up flower stalks and some early pitchers. By May it'll be a jungle out there.
