i'm trying to devise a strategy to give my two VFT's dormancy this year (TC plants bought last august, skipped dormancy this past winter), and i'm not quite sure how it will work. i have them up at college with me now so my plan was to have them ready to enter dormancy at Thanksgiving, so that I can leave them home in my garage window. this gets some light since it's in the front of the house, facing east-southeast, and while it gets cold it doesn't (or shouldn't) quite freeze. i have two holes left in this plan: 1. when should i start cutting back on light to stay on this schedule and 2. how wet should i keep the plants when they're in the garage? i was planning to move the plants from their current location under a flourescent lamp to the west-facing windowsill soon to take advantage of the naturally decreasing light. when should i move them to have them about dormant by thanksgiving?
thanx!
