Welcome to the list Andrew. Where are you growing your Nepenthes?
Yes, that the winter bud. I would think your plants should be ok
in the terrarium over the winter so long as you don't have them
much over 75~F (24~C). Otherwise you may have them rot and the fridge
would be better. Cooler temps will be better, 60-70~F will be very
comfy for the plants over winter.
