Can you also do this with Drosera and VFT? I live in Michigan and have always
moved the entire bog collection into a heated garage (around 30 degree F in
winter). I'm tired of moving everything. Does this mean I don't have to
anymore?

<< If you are growing your Sarrs in pots or in containers and wish to leave
them outdoors for their dormancy period over winter: Plunge (don't
transplant unless you have a bog) them in a _sheltered_ (wind free or
mulched, very important) location that, in the best of all worlds, receives
some sun.
Wind dessication in winter/dormancy is a sure way to lose your potted
plants. I have come to believe that "dormant" Sarrs benefit from sunlight
during said dormancy. They seem to come through it healthier and more ready
to go and bloom in the spring than others that are deprived of light in
storage.
Just a personal observation, of my own plants.
