Default Re: What should I do first?

When I got my first plant, I left it next to a hibiscus plant so that it got about 50% shaded direct sunlight from 11.30am-5.30pm. After a month without seeing burnt leaves, it is now completely unshaded.

In partial shade, the traps are all green. In full sun, it turns red, which looks much better.

This should give you a reference on how to gradually introduce to full sun without negative effects. Many people said that putting the plant in direct sunlight immediately may burn the leaves, but won't kill. Need to make sure the soil never dry. It will put out new leaves. I understand you do not want to take the risk. Gradual exposure is good idea.

By the way, I don't think your plant needs dormancy yet.
