I'm seeing it needs to stay above 55 degrees. What about winter? Does it go dormant in winter or will it be fine just to bring inside?

I just received mine about 2 weeks ago and it is growing, it is not dormant. I have it indoors.

Mine is hanging in a window. They don't really go dormant. Though you don't have to water it as much.

I bring mine to a heated(during cold spells) screen porch . It will do fine inside provided you mist it and give it humidity. It really does best outside. DO an internet search for the plant regarding its care. I would search Nepenthes. It does not go dormant. Living in Florida does give one an advantage.

I asked a friend in Alabama and she told me it would have to winter inside. But I lost mine to an early frost :(

Yes, bring it indoors if it is going to freeze. Put it in the garage where it is still cold & gradually bring it in. It can take cold but gradually. Direct sun light will not hurt it. About the only thing that will hurt it is over watering it. Mine died after a 23 degree night. It was too young to take the freeze.

I have no idea, read the contract I guess. we dismantle ours each fall & put it in the garage (after cleaning & drying it). Don't leave it out during winter to get trashed by leaves, branches, bird feces, sun & freezing. Just put it away until Mother's day & set it up after cleaning it carefully. It should last a long time then.It's all about effort.

No. It is a "living natural tree" which is "miniaturized" (if you bought to "bonsai" it), thus, must be kept in a cool/cold environment (outside). It is NOT a houseplant. It is a deciduous plant and will stay dormant for about 3 months during the winter season. You can keep it in your garage if you must - away from strong wind. since it is "dormant", it will not require much light.

If it is a well insulated room and on a long time. Better to take temp up from 55 to 65.

I keep mine in the refrigerator once opened which the company prefers. However, if it is kept in a cool dry place it should be fine (per Amazing Grass). I have traveled with mine at room temp for short periods of time with no problems...even after is has been stored cold.

I'm in CA too. I have mine in a pot that I move to a warmer area when it gets below 35 at night. I forgot to move it one night a few weeks ago when it hit 30 degrees and I've been struggling to keep it alive ever since. If it survives, I will put it inside under a grow light next Winter. Not sure what the plan is when/if it gets bigger.

We have not had this long enough to answer but would probably last longer by storing it over the winter. We are in the Palm Desert, CA area, and will bring it in over the heat and direct sun when we leave for an extended time. It is supposed to stand up to the weather but it is easy to move and store.

We'll this is a Japanese juniperSo google that along with care tips etc.. Some say to shield the tree from freezing temps. Try and keep it cool in winter so it can hibernate.. I've had it for a year already and looks great! Survived my college dorm last winter. Hopefully it'll survive the winter. I'll keep it outside until it dips below freezing

when winter comes you are to cut it down to six ins. then put mulch around it. I have not planted it yet. I have been sick. So there for I still have it in the house. Its doing ok, but if you still have warme weather plant it.

Hi...I live in 7B so I have to bring it in in the winter to avoid the cold. (it has actually done better inside than outside, producing almost constant blooms.) it seems to do best in Bright sun. As it is in a large pot, mine has reached about 4 ft high by 3 feet wide. A word of caution...the flowers tend to stick to things as they drop.

I don't think it should stay out all winter - I will take it in and store it in the basement. I would not want ice and snow to weigh it down all winter long.

It seems to work well. Stick it in the ground and you get a temperature. In realty it is probably not necessary here in the South, where you need to just be patient and recognize that you have an extraordinarily long growing season. More relevant in the cold climates.

I would say that depends on your local weather. If it may freeze, I'd recommend a pot so you can pull it inside over the coldest months.

I have the 2' model which I often use during the winter months, but I live in the California Bay Area; the temperature rarely gets to 35-40F. The heated mat is supposed to provide warmth (to help sprout seeds) to 20F above ambient. You may need to provide additional heat in your garage depending on how cold it gets outside.
