I'm growing one Nepenthes (I think it's a gracilis, I should really post a picture - bought at Lowe's the day after they arrived) in a terrarium right now, alongside some d. adelaes and d. caspenis. Beside the terrarium I have several venus fly traps; the rest are outside.
My next 2 or 3 purchases are certain to be lowland nepenthes for the terrarium (e.g. ampullaria).
I can mix and match six 48" fluorescent bulbs. Are three 6500K and three 5000K my best bet here, or something else?
I've read that 5000K is closer to tropical sun (my droseras and the nepenthes) and 6500K is more the kind of sun that a VFT is used to.
At the moment I'm using six 6500K lights.
