Hi all,
I have four flytraps that were going through winter dormancy just fine on my balcony up until recently.
About a week ago, temperatures dropped quickly below freezing (-8C) and stayed there for a week. I didn't think much about it for a few days, then I realized that the pots completely froze, and I moved the plants indoors until it warms up a little. But, the damage has been done. All the leaves are black and wilted, and it looks basically dead.
Here is a photo from the smallest pot -- I was waiting until the end of dormancy to repot. All my the other plants look the same but in larger pots.
After freezing like this, will the flytrap survive? What can I do to help? Trim off the dead leaves, repot, etc?
