Hi, I am very new to CP's, having killed all four of my VFT's in my youth (tapwater, lighting, air circulation, & flowering). I swore I'd never buy another one. Then I saw a batch of VFT's at Home Depot and did a spontaneous thing. That owas in June. The plant has doubled its leaf trap size (1/2-1") and never flowered. It is now and has been since November residing in between my kitchen windows. All growth has stopped and only a few leaves have blackened. I think it's asleep (shhh..) Right next to it is another container with the three smaller plants, also, apparently, asleep. They are obviously younger plants, purchased in September. I've also prchased Sarracenia Purpurea, Rubra, and Cobra Lilies in October & November. They are not big or ollder plants. What is the cutoff or criteria for determining as to whether dormancy should be attempted? I live in Reading, PA, if that helps. Thanx
