Hello community,
Autumn is fast approaching in the UK, and that'll lead to Winter which means dormancy for most of our beloved carnivorous plants. I grow CP's for more than just a love of them, they keep me occupied and help me by offering me mental stimulation and physical activity, simply remembering to water them is a triumph for me due to medical illness.
Because of these reasons, I would love to have a few plants, not too many, that grow all year round and do not require a dormancy period to thrive. I'm aware that some species of sundew do not require dormancy, and I'm just wondering if anyone has a list of carnivorous plants that don't require them, so that while my babies are sleeping I still have something to take care of.
I of course respect that the majority of carnivorous plants are from hot and humid locations, and that dormancy in the winter is key to their survival, and so I shan't force my plants to be awake during winter, that is just unfair. I'm merely wondering if anyone knows of any UK-available plants that do not need their winter beauty sleep, or, better put, never go dormant in the winter.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
