Dormancy question

just how do i go about putting Sarrs into dormancy. they have been under lights set for my tropical CPs and such. should i remove them and place them in a window where the day length is shorter?
 
Shorter photoperiod is a good start. From all what I have read and from my own growing experience I suggest you move your Sarrs to a cooler location as well.

Shorter Photoperiod, cooler temps. And yes, i don't only have Nepenthes. I have S. Rubra, S. Purpurea, D. Capensis, D. Dichotoma, Two Venus's, on Darlingtonia Californica, and a BUTTERWORT.:D

Just for the record (before someone else points it out... ahem Tamlin

  ) The second name of the scientific name is never capitalized. IE... Sarracenia rubra, Drosera capensis ect ect.
