Well, I had no idea if I would be successful with simulating dormancy for my plants in a terrarium. I'm in Denver and we had a moderately cold winter. If I'd simply placed them outdoors, they surely would have died. However...
This is the VFT
This is the pitcher
It's a small 22"X13" tank with three 18" flourescent tubes bolted to the makeshift lid:
And I keep a thermometer/humidity meter in it at all times:
I'm even getting the beginings of a flower on the VFT! I just took them out of the back (cooler) section of my house on the first of March. The VFT already has nine traps and the PP has more young pitchers than I can count. Thusfar, it worked!
Need to feed the little fellas, though!
