Like a few other folks here, I'm just getting back into this after a few years. I'm easing back into it with a nice healthy Nepenthes Ventricosa; random find at a garden center that reminded me how much I enjoyed growing CP's. It enjoyed a very hot and rainy Connecticut summer hanging in the vegetable garden, gorging itself on all kinds of insects and loading up on yellowjackets and wasps in early fall. I brought it in and got a small grow tent and a full spectrum LED and it seems to be thriving, along with a few Tulsi plants and a VFT that my wife picked up at a local grocery store this week.
One thing I'm hoping to learn here is how to do winter dormancy correctly (finally). I love growing Sarracenia but I haven't been able to go more than a couple of years without an eventual fail. Obviously something I'm doing wrong. I'm going to do some diligence here during the upcoming winter, order some Sarrs in the spring and try to do a right proper bog garden. I'm going to start by trying to successfully overwinter this little Flytrap. Baby steps....
Random info - We're in Southern CT, involved in dog rescue, and we have a pack of small, flat-faced dogs that rule over us day & night.
