Most say dormancy from Halloween to Valentine's Day, but it would depend on how you are keeping it otherwise.

So come halloween you just place it in the fridge till Valentines? do you still got to water it or just forget it exists?
Oh ok thats a smart idea. See cuz 2 yrs ago when I got my VFT I didnt know when to put it in there and well it died before I did which was around christmas time.
Unfortunately I think I'm in the beginning of a mealy bug infestation. I QTed a few different plants that were infected and went with the alcohol swabs at first. Thought I caught it in the main collection but so far I haven't seen a big outbreak. I'm hoping that doesn't mean they're all hiding below the surface...next sign of them and they'll be getting a taste of some insecticide!
Cool thread, neat plants!
Have always wanted to give carnivorous plants a try. Always decided that I have enough interests that keep me busy w/o addin' another one that I won't be 100% committed to. Enjoyed livin' vicariously through yer thread!

LOL, never spent much time in Wyoming, I take it?
We have four unique seasons: road construction season during May and June, rodeo season from June to August, hunting season from August thru October, and winter from November to April. None of 'em are especially wet. The first half of road construction season, all of hunting season, and all of winter are cold to freezin', and growin' anything acclimated to less than a sub-arctic climate outdoors is nigh impossible at the best of times.
Alright, a bit of exaggeration there. It IS dry with freezing weather possible during any month. I've seen it snow enough to leave snow on the ground every month except July, and have seen it snow in the middle of a thunderstorm in May. This wasn't at higher elevations, that was right here in Cheyenne. Average annual precipitation is only 'round 12", IIRC. Seriously, I'd love to be able to grow a greater variety of things outdoors, but the climate here just isn't conducive.
