Greetings all,
I have recently purchased some carnivorous plants for my lab at a university. The collection so far includes S. purpurea venosa, S. leucophylla, Drosera spatulata, Nepenthes ventricosa, and an unknown VFT. The eventual goal is to construct a better indoor grow space and then sometime in the furture, try to find funding for a greenhouse on campus.
I have a question about lighting for the Sars. Currently the Sars are under a 36w sansi led bulb. The S. leuco. is about 10" from the light and the S. purpurea is around 16". The bulb is on a timer set for 14 hours a day. My lab has no natural light and I’m afraid the one sansi 36w light is not enough, do any of you have experience with these lights? I have a collection of succulents under the light and they seem to love it. The nepenthes/VFT have also done well for a few months now. I am considering purchasing another bulb for expanded coverage, do you think that’s needed?
