Well, things are going well so far, after 6 months indoors on a sunny
windowsill. It has 1 1/4 -1 1/2 inch traps, and is red where it should be
red. It seems headed toward dormancy and I can put it in a cool room if
need be (or outside), but with the heat off at night the temps against
the window probably get down around 10 degrees anyway (do they need
constant cool temps, or are nights enough?, although I suppose since I'm
ignoring so much other good advice I shouldn't waste your time by asking).
I'll let you know if it makes it through the winter. At least my killed
VFT story will be longer than most others.
Don't tell any VFT deities that may be watching, for I may be smited.
