Cephalotus Lighting Optimization: Fluorescent Spectrum and Intensity Requirements

Cool white or true daylight fluorescents both work well for carnivorous plants. The critical factor is lumen intensity: minimum 6,000-10,000 lumens for most species; Venus flytraps and Sarracenia need 10,000-25,000+ lumens. Since Cephalotus experience is limited, consult Sarracenia Northwest for species-specific guidance.
