Question
I just bought a Cephalotus from you guys.  As of this moment, I haven't gotten it yet, but it's already "my newest baby" (grin).

I have other plants growing under 300 watts total of daylight, full spectrum, incandescent light.  The plants are all a minimum of 8 inches away from the lights. The other plants have no problem with the lights, and neither does my Drosera Falconeri, another plant considered difficult to grow.

My question is:  Is this enough light?  The right type?

Answer
Hello Talisha,

I think you intended to send this question to Sarracenia Northwest. I do not sell plants. In any event, florescent lighting is usually best for plants as incandescent lights burn too hot even if they do give off the proper spectrum of light for plants. Look for the lumens of light output to determine how much light intensity your plants are getting. In general, 9000-12000 lumens is sufficient, much better if you have upwards of 20000-36000 lumens for light intensive plants, to grow many tropical plants indoors with no additional sun, but a bright south window with additional light from florescents is always helpful. Cephalous like a lot of light, but are not quite as light intensive as a Venus Flytrap.
