Hey everybody.

I’ve done some research on the VFT dormancy period, and how there are a few different methods you can follow. I’ve attached some pics of the 4 VFTs I have, and I wanted to get some suggestions and feedback...

The room I’ve been keeping them in is a sort of “outdoor” room...window panels on all walls and the ceiling. I live in Pennsylvania in a suburb of Philadelphia. The winters can potentially get very cold, sometimes below freezing. I’m assuming that keeping them in this room all winter is a bad idea.

What’s the best strategy here?

I think it’s better of you put them to a garage till springtime, so they won’t freeze.
