Hello together,

I’m new into carnivores and I’ve already bought some plants. They do grow fine where they’re at now around my apartment but I want to build a plant shelf (w:130cm/h:40-50cm/d:40cm) to have them all together. The shelf will have 2 separate areas.

1st area:

2x Spider Farmer sf 300

https://spiderfarmer.eu/products/sf300-led-grow-light/

Plants:
drosea capensis red form
drosea capensis Bains kloof
drosea capensis Alba
dionaea muscipula
sarracenia x Eva

2nd area:

1x Barrina T5
(+1 maybe later)

https://www.barrina-led.com/products/barrina-t5-16w-led-grow-light-3ft-5000k-full-spectrum-linkable-mi16

Plants:
nephentes x briggsiana
nephentes bloody marry
(pinguicula ibarre)

Are those lights fine or should I look into buying something else?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

In the beginning of April I got 2 Sundews, a red one (Drosea capensis - Red Form) and one from South Africa ( Drosea capensis - Bain‘s Kloof). I potted them into a big bowl and put them on our windowsill which is facing to the east. They get roundabout 6h of sun in the morning and noon (southern Germany). The red one looks fine to me but the green one does have some very long stems. What do you think? Is it just part of growing and getting bigger or is it abnormal?

I’ll attach a second picture just to show you guys how much they grew in 18 Days.🤓

Also don’t worry, they are not planted in stones, that’s just a small cosmetic layer. Also I do make sure they always sit in water…

Thanks in advance!
