Hi all,

Seeing its just about Autumn (Fall) here in Australia, I was
thinking about putting some of my Dionaea through dormacy in
a refrigerator. Has anyone else tried this in other countries?

I just want to know to prepare them for this method of artifical
dormancy, like where to place them in the refrigerator.

The other night a memeber of the ACPS at a meeting showed us two
of his that he had subjected to this treatment, because they were
beggining to lose vigour. They are now two of the most healthy
and large plants I have ever seen! I didn't get a chance to ask
him how he stored his in the fridge.

Thanks,

Russell Elliott

P.S. How much are the seeds Terry?
