Question
My venus fly trap recently suffered a 3 week spell of dryness due to my being ill and forgetting to water it.  Once I noticed the dryness I immediately watered it and asked you guys if you thought it could still be alive.  Well, after following Jeff's instructions, I dug it up and found lots of white firm tissue, even bits of green indicating that it is clinging to life.  My question now is, since I've watered and repotted it, would it be ok to put the whole thing in a zip lock back and put it back into that cool, east facing window until spring?

Answer
Hello Tina,

I think you intended to ask Sarracenia Northwest about this, however; I will help as much as I can.

Since your Venus Flytrap was probably dormant by the sound of things it might survive the dry spell. Just keep it hydrated from now on with just enough water to keep its soil moist all the time.

There really should be no reason to place the plant in a plastic bag if the window the plant is in is cool, but not freezing to the point of turning everything to a block of ice. The key temperature would be about 40 degrees for a good dormancy.

I hope your plant pulls through the dry spell,

Christopher
