Dont move them around so much is something i would say, they will get used to the high light... then if you give them enough of the lite they will get used to it. What do you do for winter dormancy by the way?

If you shorten the photo period (sunlight) by alot you can put them into dormancy... wich is good for them.

Do you mist your plants? or wash cool fresh distilled
through the pot?
I am in zone 9 and my vft is stuck into my bog still
potted. I learned how moss can literally eat a vft!
But I spray my bog daily prob. about 3 times during a normal day and a couple times at night. When the Santa Anas are up I spray hourly just to keep the humidity up and help
cool the plants. Still wondering if I should buy a misting system or not????
I just went out and looked at mine and mine have new traps
coming and even an old one is still there and also some bug
or slug has been nibbling on one of the leaves!
So try keeping the plant cool even though it likes sun!
One way of doing this is to nest the pot into a much larger pot and maybe using dried or live sphagnum between them and then spraying it all down with distilled or r/o. Or maybe rig up a drip or flow system that moves cool water through the pots of your plants. I use a drip on Darlingtonia and Heliamphora. With the Darlingtonia I even cool the water in the fridge and pour it into my drip reservoir. Maybe that would be helpful?

I just got them for x-mas, I put them on a sunny north facing window. I guess I'll do the fridge method this winter. I've only had Sundews before. 1st time with VFT. haven't tried misting

Generally speaking, VFT's do best when grown outdoors - even in FLA. But as AKheadbanger said, the less the jostling the better. In my opinion, I would get your plants acclimated and growing where they are and introduce them to the outside... slowly. Start in shady spot and move closer to the southern exposure.

The plant I have is outside 24/7 in a partly sunny spot
from mid morning until mid afternoon when trees shade out the area and then later afternoon the spot gets the sun before it sets. The vft is also surrounded by some sedges with fine leaves. It did not go into dormancy over the winter. It looks great though may be a bit spindly because
it may need even more light than I am giving it. However,
just checked an hour ago while spraying the bog and was
surprised to see a flower spike growing up out of it. I guess I will be imaging it later. I do not recall ever having any vft that I had grown flowering for me!!!

You may want to try to create a living sphagnum bog. I will
set up a webpage sometime and let you see what I have done.
It is much more interesting growing them outside in this part of the country where it generally does not really freeze.

cheers.

VFT's in warmer climates... usualy dont lose their leaves... is what ive heard.. traps just close slower, and they really stop growing (very slow growing)

cheers

I like the idea of initiating a sphagnum bog garden. After all, they come from the swamps of North Carolina and summer in the South is pretty much the same heat and humidity from FLA to Maryland.

Whereas temperature is part of the pie chart of dormancy, it holds a smaller segment of significance as does photoperiod. The same basic question has been asked for those who reside on Southern California. The plants do go dormant even if they aren't colder than 50 degrees.
