Yes but I kept my juniper indoors when the weather got really cold or when it rained too much. I put it next to a large (yes, I mean LARGE) window that got lots of sunlight.

I just realized that I started training my juniper before you were born. It is outdoors, always. Junipers do NOT belong indoors.

As of this afternoon, the juniper now resides outside. I am not 100% about the location, but it it small and can be easily moved. I have resigned to not cutting or pruning anything until Next year. I have cleaned off a few spots that appeared to be dead and used a small brush on the trunk.

This evening I found a spider building in between the branches. I relocated him to a more suitable home in the blueberry bushes. I also found one of those dark gray beetles that looks like a stink bug. He ended up joining the Venus fly trap for dinner...

The spider won't hurt your plant, they eat other insects...... and in some cases can actually be helpful. I find spiderwebs between my trees on my balcony often.

So? No reason to take them indoors.

OK, I have seen this too often now to think this is still a coincidence. Seems many people interested in 名媛直播, are interested in carnivorous plants too.
I love them. Have had quite a few different species.

My daughter got the fly trap while on a field trip, about a week before we got the juniper. It wasn't intentional, but since school started back we've acquired two plants. I'm hoping this will be a long term trend.. :)

Keep it outdoors (it needs dormancy), give it rainwater or demineralised water (if you have a Tds meter you can check if the water from a pond or so is good to use (50 ppm or below)) , use non mineral soil, feed the dionaea only living insects or it won't digest them, give it lots of direct sunlight, don't let it dry ou but don't let it get too wet. Did you poach the dionaea?

No poaching, my daughter got it on a field trip. It is in a tan/orange nursery pot, looks like 4-6oz size.

Do you have any tips for winter care? I live in the mountains, so it get cooler sooner than down east on the coast...
