With the help of the people here on flytrapcare, I was able to get started on these amazing plants after struggling a lot. I thank you guys!

Here are 2 pictures of where and how I provide them light if its way too hot outside. The bulb im using now it a 14 watt fluorescent light but im going to get a much stronger one tomorrow (minimum 50 watts, going to try to fins a 100 watt one.)

If the sun is cooler during the day (less than 40 degrees celcius, prefferably 34 celcius) I take them out and place them in the (direct) sun they need.

The electrical thing to the right is an old 12V computer fan I use to periodically circulate wind over the plants and keep them cool.

Close-up. Im a little confused of both of the plants' health but im pretty sure its because Im busy acclimating them both to direct sunlight.
