Question
I have just transplanted my two vft's into a tall plastic pot. They have absolutely no leaves but their bulbs are still white. They are at the moment by a west facing window. I was wondering what I should do with them right now before they die. Where can I place them without burning them with heat and sun. How should I care for them at this point.

Answer
Hello Ryan,

Venus Flytraps are full sun plants that can handle up to 100 degree temperatures in Summer. It sounds like your plants lost all their leaves over Winter dormancy, a common occurance when freezing temperatures damages the leaves. If the bulb like crowns of the plants are still white and or reddish streaked, they are alive and ready to begin sprouting with warm temperatures and moist soil.

Place them in a South facing window, or one with the best view of sunlight if you simply cannot place them outside. They tend to do best outside in most cases.
