I live in a two bedroom town house where the only windows face north. I have a little bit of a yard in front that is further shaded by a Maple tree. I would like to put the VFT outside as well as the North American Pitcher plants. I grow an orchid there for the summer and I was wondering if I might use a hanging pot with the three plants inside. I will leave each in its own pot with but will probably pur a larger bowl in for the three of them to have the extra water they need. My question is: Is there more benefit for the plants being outside with a little sun than inside with flourescent lights? I really want to put them outside so that maybe I can see some of the beautiful colors that only come out in sunny conditions but I also want to keep them healthy too. thanks to everyone who answere this, in advance.
