Peter's N. ventricosa burned under T5 lights 5-6 months ago; main growth point shrinking/malformed, secondary shoot thriving. Christopher: "Once a growth point is damaged or on its way out, all you can really do is wait for alternate growth points to develop and vine out." Recommends cool white T-12 fluorescents (3000 lumens each, 2-4 tubes) for intensity/temperature safety. His 18,000 lumens over N. truncata/sanguinea at 6-8" for 12h winter produces non-stop pitchering.
