Mine are outside in all kinds of weather. Once it stops raining, if there is too much water in the trays, I just dump it out. They don't mind being waterlogged for a day or two. Some don't mind at all. My flavas sit in a couple of inches of water all of the time. The same goes for psittancia. Flytraps only get into a problem if the conditions are constantly soggy.

My Sarracenia have sat through hurricane downpours. That isn't unusual weather considering their native ranges, and it didn't faze them in the least.

Thanks everyone for the advice. It was only about 5 days outside before I started noticing growth. The one pitcher that is developing has been slow because we've had a good chunk of cloudy days in the past weeks, but it's red and it's definitely a pitcher, not a stress leaf.
