I just moved my plants into a dormacy state. 6 hours light and pots are sitting in tray with 2 inches of water. How do others handle the water setup ? New to growing the plants.

Would not let them sit in water during dormancy. Just keep them damp. I'm sure anyone in this forum would agree.

I third not letting them sit in water — especially 2” of it! It’s a lot cooler this time of year, so it takes forever for pots to dry out. Between the cooler-than-normal conditions and the stupid wet fall we had, I haven’t watered my flytraps in like three months (which is atypical — normally I’m not able to cut back much on watering until like mid-November).

When I first started in this hobby, I had issues with flytraps rotting in the winter because I’d sat them in water all winter.
