Hi

The plastic is if you are in a harsh enviroment with severe temps.
You could start by giving a good mulshing (and if you have a large pot its better as the plants roots would be more protected) then once the first frost hits and the temp starts to drop drastically, you could even cut off the pitchers and cover with some form of plastic to shield from frosty winds.
Keep them moist at all times and dont let them dry out though.
If you are in a severe region then its probably easier for you to just bring them into a shed.
Now I dont know if its ok to give them no light at all.
But would imagine its fine since the VFT's in the fridge dont get any.
I would try and set them up to get some light from a window (if there is) but like I said I dont know if this is nessasery.

Either way in or out should be fine as long as they have some shielding for the winter.
I am leaving mine out in winter, but I have a MASSIVE pot that is filled and is also a fibreglass insulated pot.
We have alot of pine trees so thats where my mulsh will come from, the yard is also shielded via a wood fencing which should cut the wind down alot too.

Cheers n good luck, its my first dormency too!!

well all mine are all in 6 inch pots and are in one of those Long ones, thats how they get water. Tray system loses water to easy each day. this the water will last longer (thats better with it being out side). any ways, Ill probably use Mulshing sence i have a couple of pine tree's But wont that give nutrence to the soil, or are pine needles acidic?

Cheers

Hi

Pine needles are indeed acidic.
They are one of the advised mulshes to use with CP's.

Cheers

Would i want them to Be Green, or brown? (the pine needles)

Um, Ive only seen dried needles used personally, like the ones that fall off the trees in mass.
Not sure if there would be a major difference as the bulk of needles just cover the soil and help keep it further insulated.

Cheers
