Hello All, and Happy new year.

I have not allowed my Dionea to enter dormancy yet, primarily because
it was recovering from an initial poor potting. It has shown its
appreciation, and now I would like to have it enter dormancy.

I have seen figures as long as 4 months for a dormancy period, and the
extremes of placing outside in the snow to leaving in a 50F room.

What should be the maximum temperature for dormancy, and the minimum
time of dormancy?

Point me in the right direction, and I will go there.

Thanks!
