    I've have a venus fly trap and its the first one i have had that has survived, it is in fact doing really well and i may need to repot it next spring, but i was wondering weather or not it needs to go dormant over the winter as it shows little sign of slowing its growth. It is inside on a sunny window sill what should i do?
