I did some flower-stalk propagation of my flytraps this spring, and this is what I have now:

That's a 4-inch / 10-centimeter square pot. The stalks that struck went sprout-crazy and produced 10-20 each. I'm planning to separate these little flytraps in late winter so they have room to grow next summer.

My question right now is this: Should I let these plants experience dormancy, or should I keep them indoors this winter? They would be in a south-facing window and under a grow light. The room's temperature range is 60-70 F / 16-21 C.

I might extend the growing season a bit and feed them for another month or so and then let them go dormant. Either that or, if I don't have enough time to play with them, just let them go dormant right now.

Just let it be. Don't overthink it man. Worst that[…]
