AnswerHello Ean,
Sarracenia seedlings can be grown indoors under artificial lights or in a good bright sunny window, or both, for the first year or two so they can attain some size and resistance before you acclimate them to outdoor weather. You will not need to provide artificial dormancy for them at this time. They can grow undisturbed until they are a few inches tall, then after the first or second year, set them up to feel seasonal changes outside so they can go dormant.
