Thank you, guys.
Dexenthes, I was actually planning on doing just that - taking the temperates out and keeping them in pots in the grow rack during growing seasons (possibly even outside; just bought a house and will have plenty of outdoor room to give them a try) and the garage for winter. The bog, I was going to make a dew-bog, nothing but dews. I think I have a pretty good setup for dews in there. It's a 1:1 peat and perlite mix, it's got 81 watts of 5000K CFLs and 54 watts of 6500K CFLs, for a grand total of 135 watts of CFL light over it, and it's automatically watered every day via pump for thirty minutes, the excess water allowed to run into the reservoir and maintaining an inch of water about four inches down from the soil line.
I was initially reluctant to try plants outside since Colorado is, indeed, a mile closer to the sun than their natural environment and is also pretty dry. The wicked thunderstorms we get around here during the summer also scare me since marble- to golfball-sized hail is not necessarily uncommon. Those factors mixed with the fact that I simply didn't have a lot of outdoor room this year, being in a townhouse, and I just decided to stick them in the bog for this year. I had 4 Sarracenia species outside for the summer and they did pretty well, so I'm definitely going to try others, like the Dionaea, outside this coming spring. They did well in the minibog this summer, however, both the Dionaea typical and 'Red Dragon' flowering. I'm also allowing them to flower right now in order to have a nice reserve to experiment with this coming spring, both indoors and out.
However, speaking of the Sarracenia I have, I currently have them sitting in a window sill with the wiindow slightly cracked. It's much too cold these days to leave plants outside - even the native Colorado plants are saying their goodbyes as we're getting into the low 20s overnight now. I think I'll put the Dionaea that are not flowering in the sill with the Sarracenia and as soon as those that are flowering are done, they'll join. Do I not need to cut anything back on any of these plants? Just let them do their thing, go dormant?
Thanks for the advice, it's super, super appreciated by such a newb. ^.^
You do raise a very interesting point, however. If I find the temperates to be able to deal with the harshness of Colorado, I'll definitely be doing something specifically for them. I don't know how "mini" it will be, however. >;D Then again, the dew bog will probably also end up expanding if I find dews do well outdoors here. Time will tell!
EDIT: I just stuck my temperature/humidity sensor in the window sill with the Sarracenia because, well, numbers are never a bad thing. ;p
