Pygmy Sundew Lighting: Assessing a Mixed Terrarium Setup

Will a Pygmy Sundew Thrive in a Nepenthes/Butterwort Terrarium?

A grower plans to order D. nitidula × pulchella for a terrarium with N. ventrata, N. muluensis × lowii, D. adelae, P. moranensis. Lighting: 1×120W daylight, 1×120W warm white, 1×120W white (each ~2000 lumens), 1×40W fluorescent grow bulb. Too cold outside for pygmy sundew.

Expert Assessment

Jeff Dallas: If the current plants are growing well, the pygmy sundew will do fine. They prefer full sun but adapt excellently to artificial light.
