Meat-freezing plants in the house over the winter
Only a few carnivorous plants are hardy, such as the sundew. Species such as venus flytrap and pitcher plant tolerate no minus temperatures. They have to be wintered in the house.
Carnivores overwinter in the house
How to properly hibernate carnivorous plants depends on the species. Most varieties want to stand very bright in winter, but do not tolerate such high temperatures.
The ambient temperatures for such species should be between 10 and 15 degrees. Do not place the pans directly over radiators as the humidity is too low.
Casting is less in the winter. But make sure that the root balls never dry out completely.
Cultivate pitcher plants
Nepenthes or pitcher plants are an exception, because they can be at the same location all year round. But they also tolerate it when the temperatures are slightly lower in winter.
Tips
If you bring your carnivorous plants out of the winter quarters in the spring, they slowly get used to the higher temperatures. Even frequent relocations get the least varieties.
