I've moved most of my temperate plants to the "cold room" in the old dilapidated mobile home I use as my indoor growing room. The cold room is basically...the kitchen with a couple of windows opened/cracked close by. Dim light, cool/cold temperatures but it shouldn't get below freezing. Anyhow, I've got most things in there on top of the old refrigerator. So, that ought to tip you off on how many I have to overwinter.

I've still got two growing "mystery" sarrs from Cal Carn outside along with a big pot of straggly Walmart flytraps and some type of flava(?). I'm debating on whether to move my sphagnum moss containers inside or not. It looks like we're moving into a 60F/40F hi/lo temperature range...cool for south Alabama.
I've got a couple of questions:
I've got a container of d. filiformis Florida Giant x tracyi clones that have been growing indoors since I started them a year ago from leaf cuttings. They're basically full-size now and I'm wondering if I need to move them from under lights and let them wane away for the winter or let them wait until their second year for dormancy. They're looking a little straggly so they may be hinting they're getting ready to nap.
The second question is in regards to a S. Scarlet Belle. I got this last year (thanks Chef!!!) so I figure it was probably around a year old then. It was outdoors all summer and I brought it inside a while back when we had a freeze forecast...it's been beneath the lights since then. It doesn't really show signs it wants to take a nap...adding more small pitchers around its base. Should I let it go as long as it will beneath the lights and let it tell me when it's ready for dormancy?
