im fairly new to CP's, i tried making a bog terrarium when i was younger but it failed. however since i have been doing reasearch on Nepenthes latly i think i know what i did wrong. anyways i saw this S. rubra along side of a couple nepenthes that i picked up, its pichers are about 3 inches tall and appear very healthy(cant say the same about the poor Venus flytraps). anyways i am in the middle of setting up a 75 gal fishtank for my new lowland nepenthes, some orchids and various other topical plants. im just making a "grow chamber" not a terrarium. i was wondering if the Rubra will do well in with these plants? i understand they need a dormant period, but other wise will they do well in the bright, warm, humid enviroment of the chamber? also how do u give them a dorment period? do u just take them out of the tank and place them in the fridge? or do u have to wean them out of the chamber first? also being as the plant is young does it have to have a dormant period this winter or are they like flaytraps and can go without the dormancy for a few years? i have searched the net with no luck, lots of info about growing them outdoors but little that answers these questions.
