Using 400W HPS Light for Nepenthes: Winter Supplement Only

HPS (orange/red spectrum) is usable for winter supplementation but lacks blue light for leafy growth.

Setup

  • Keep 2 feet above plants (high heat).
  • Timer: 14 hours/day.
  • Supplements, doesn't replace, fluorescents for balanced growth.

We use HPS in Pacific Northwest winters to boost limited sun.
