Hello....
I have read different points of view regarding the color temperature of an artificial light to use when growing Nepenthes. Can some of you give me some advice?
I am using the light on Nepenthes ventrata, but I suspect the color temperature is probably the same for most in this plant group?
Thank you,
mraroid

The bulb I just bought is rated at 2,000 lumens.
I still can not find any information on light requirements or color temperature range for this group of plants. I looked all over this forum. Can someone post a link to a FAQ that would be helpful?
Thank you

Color temperature of lights is not of great importance, but typically a lower color temperature (around 4000k) will provide slightly better results for indoor growing compared to a typical "daylight" 6500k light. Lower color temperatures can make plants more prone to leaning towards the light though.
