outdoors safe?


Question
Ok so I just got a flytrap from a hardware store and I抳e finished acclimating it to lower humidity and I抦 wondering if right now is safe to acclimate it to outdoors or if I should wait until springtime to do that since it is starting to cool off rather rapidly. I抦 in zone 9 so it shouldn't be too bad but I don't want to risk anything...

Answer
Hi Andre,

It depends on where you are in zone 9.  The desert Southwest might be OK to acclimate to outdoor growing, but the Bay Area (also zone 9) might be a bit too cold right now.  In either case, your plant will be OK in a sunny south window for the winter.  In spring, after the risk of frost, acclimate your plant for outdoor growing where it can spend its entire life.

For general information about growing flytraps, read our care sheet online:

Good growing!
