I hate bugs. Carnivorous plants get me.
I failed to do my due diligence and research what to do before my plants arrived, but today I only received a small batch (a D. filiformis, D. intermedia and a P. primuliflora). The former two are definitely dormant, but the primuliflora is flowering. Next week I'll be receiving a big order of what I assume will be dormant Sarracenia. I am also going to assume they were/are all grown in greenhouse settings only because they are from somewhat large distributors. Granted, one is more local in south Florida, so they may be not so much in dormancy any longer but I am unsure of that at the moment.
How careful do I need to be transitioning all these plants to full exposure outdoors?
The outdoor space receives probably a good 6 hours or so (at least) of mostly direct sunlight. Temps are currently 60's-70's for a high, but nights are projected to keep dipping into the low 40's/high 30's for the next few weeks or so. I will actually have to be watering myself because it's covered from any direct rain inputs (unfortunately), so I am also unsure how wet I should be keeping them.
I've never actually grown outdoors before, so I may be over thinking this...
