Hi everyone,

This is my first time using the gardener's forum. I just recently purchased 4 venus fly traps. I have done some reading and I know that they are in dormancy. The care instructions informed me to keep them in the refridgerator while in the dormant months. My question is, do I have to keep watering them even if they are in their dormant stage?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Jen!
You don't have to water em as much. Whatcha can do is put em in a baggy, or put the lil glass cup that came with it over it while its in the fridge. The soil should remain moist, but not soggy, or dripping. Basically, just look at it, feel it, and if it feels dry, go ahead and give it some water ^.^

wow, 8 of em? o.O you tryin to show me up??
