hmmm... well they usually are indoors under fluorescent lighting but i put them outside about 2 weeks ago to accustom them to the cold before i put them in the fridge for the winter do u think theyll be good to go into the fridge by thanksgiving? thanksss
 
Those are far from dormant. You should see mine, they will die WAY back when it's time for dormancy. You'll think they are dead.

I don't see any pictures, so I know the computer savvy youth are doing something different.
 
Okay, I tried copy & paste to the address bar and saw them.

They're still a ways away from dormant. Give them some more time. They'll look like "death warmed over" eventually.
 
im planning on putting these traps into the fridge inside of their pot after removing all growth to avoid fungus now if my plants still look this way by thanksgving can i just go ahead and cut the growth back and put into fridge anyways? they have been experiencing mid 30's weather for about a month by then...thanks
 
You should put them in about now. Even if they're not dormant they will suffer the more you keep them from dormancy.
