This year I am trying a dormancy setup for the carnivorous plants in a cold storage room next to a wall that should get close to freezing in a few weeks (growing zone 7b) or whenever it stays cold throughout the day. It's a bit earlier than I would usually do, but I want to see how they adjust before fully committing to the setup. The lighting is made for hibernation (Parus overwintering LED) but it's the first year I've used them.

A plastic pot with many small Venus Flytraps, one year old. This is their first dormancy. Many of the plants are lying down on the soil and there are a lot of blackened traps.
Sarracenia Rubra in a white pot. Some of the leaves are drying out and the whole plant is curling more inwards than they do over the summer.
