I think I'd go for the 'close to the window as cool as possible
without freezing'. The Sarrs should be happy with that. As we've just
been discussing, Drosera peltata *should* be growing now in the
nothern hemisphere. You should expect it to go dormant in
Spring/Summer. I've not heard of D. nitruda - is this a good name? -
it arouses my suspicions.
