Hi all i am back. And after a particually harsh summer my plants look like crap. The flavas are messes, venus flytraps have been super dry, and luecos hate my climate. They spend almost the whole year making phyllodia. My climate has humidity 0%, average summer temps is 99-100 degrees farhinheit, and we had a heat wave in the 113. But thinking if it, i have lost no plants this summer

Not like how i lost half my collection this winter. Plus my plants have just started to make their fall leaves.
here are the pics:

All my Plants(1st tray):

Holy cow! You're plants as still amazing!! I love that last picture of the little babies filling up the pot. Truly awesome!! Thank you for sharing.

p.s.
I heard that the weather here (same as yours pretty much) should be evening out a bit. Maybe the temps will closer to the 80's this week. YAY!!

I've been meaning to ask. Since you and I have basically the same type of weather what do you do with your plants during the winter? Do you leave them up and just cover them when the frost sets in or bring them inside? I'm so excited about getting through the winter but I am terrified because I have so many plants and this will be my first winter with them.

I live in Southern California where it never rains and the temps have been up and down for all of summer, had two short heat waves of 10 days and then it got really cool down into the 60's during the day then up again, right now it is about 68 and rain is in the forecast for Wednesday but not here, maybe up by Andrew, my plants are still growing flowers and new pitchers, traps and sundew leaves, they don't know what to do. In winter I leave them outside, the winter here is like spring in some other parts of the country. our moderator cal attest to that being in Central California, he gets big heat and colder winters than I do but these plants are hardy, search pictures of CP's in winter you will see them covered with snow so no worries unless it get freezing, then take them inside.
