Drosera Capensis Seeds

Question
HI
How much light should I give to Drosera capensis seeds once they start to germinate?
And will a CFL equivalant to a 100 watt light work instead of Florescent tubes?
Thanks

Answer
Hi Fishboy,

The compact fluorescent will work just fine. Just monitor temperature at the soil surface some since the CFL's are hotter than fluorescent tubes. You don't want the temperature much warmer than the 80's.

Good Growing!
