but, i like the liverwort. and i thought the flytrap and pitcher plant gained their nutrients from small insects they ingest.
i may just grow the liverwort in its own pot.

Please do some research on liverwort and how it reproduces. You may not want to take this path.

I live in Michigan (zone 5ish) and overwinter my sarrs collection in my garage every year. There are no windows and when its below freezing outside, the garage door is always closed. My plants are in complete darkness (for the most part) for about 4 solid months with absolutely no harm to them come spring. They have even frozen solid for brief periods of time while in the garage. They are tough plants as long as they don't dry out during the winter.

i may trash the liverwort then.
i have gained a huge trash bag full of live sphagnum moss, so i will have my mini-bog garden setup soon. ill add the pitcher plant after it experiences a good frost. right now its outside in the rain and it gets cold at night. the pitcher leaves have died but the small leaves at the base are still healthy.
also, my flytrap is doing what it does best! i have counted 9 fungus gnats in several traps, and just yesterday the plant caught a fly on its own!
thankyou everyone for the advise and tips, keep it coming.

Good that you went online and learned enough about Liverwort to make that decision.
I must admit I like the looks of it myself but I certainly wouldn't want that getting lose in a greenhouse or any other place for that matter.

Yeah, plants become weeds when you decide you don't like them and you find they are a bugger to get rid of.
Good move in deciding to get rid of it now when you've only got it in one pot.
Dave.

all its leaves have died off, its getting down into the mid 30s at night with 60s as the high during the day. no frost yet.
id like to move the remains into a new container with some other plants i bought. should i wait till there is new growth, or can i disturb it right now?
also.
after 20 days or so, the leaves were dead or dieing. i assumed the shock of drying out at home depot and the huge light change forced my plant into dormancy. fortunately, it started getting cold out so i just put the plant outside. it is rained on 2-3 times per week now, and all the leaves are dead. the plant has been leafless for two, maybe three weeks now. can i wait till the first night of frost, then bring the plant back into the house?
