Subject: Dick Dove VFT seedlings over winter

I have grown VFT's from seed and kept them on the south-facing window of a
room in a house. Ideally, the seeds should probably been sown in March or
February, to give them a long growing season before dormancy.
They do not seem to object to being on a windowsill for the first winter as
long as do not stand in water and are not kept too wet.
VFT's seem to get more bad-tempered as they get older, they really need a
cold dormancy later on as they grow larger.
