Tim,
Sounds like you have a handle on things. Just cut back on the water
every week and allow the soil to drain before watering the plant
again. The coolness helps, but these plants don't really go into a
major sleep like other plants do, they kind of dose off for a couple
of months, but the traps are still active, but very slow. I don't
recommend feeding them during this dormancy. I would just let nature
take it's course. If the plant stay around 35-40 degrees for about
three months, that's really all they need. Middle December to Middle
March is my coldest months here in Va. Beach, Va. I usually take the
plants into the greenhouse at this time, otherwise out of the
greenhouse they go. If a frost or short freeze hits them, I don't
worry. They pop right back next march.
