Cool white for carnivore plant


Question
Is it ok to use cool white light bulb for carnivore plant only?

Answer
Hello Aaron,

Cool white tubes and bulbs of the florescent variety are the general types of artificial lighting to use with carnivorous plants. You could also use true daylight varieties. Make sure the lumen output is at least 12000 and that the plants are at least 6-8 inches or closer to the lights according to species. also, remember, North American species of carnivorous plants and those requiring full sun might not grow at their best under florescent lighting unless you add more lumens of intensity up to 20000 or even 30000 lumens. Full sunlight outside is equivalent to 40000 to 50000 lumens in the brightest spots on the planet, so you will want your plants getting as close an approximation to their light requirements as you can provide. Typically, growing full sun plants outside is the only way most growers can do that.
