Going to put my collection of nepenthes sanguinea and similar plants inside over winter using T5 growlights.

What time length would i set the timer for ? 10 hours 12 hours ?

Cheers

I did a 12-14 hour photoperiod (can't remember which I ended up using) with the plants maybe 6-8 in. away from the lights with a fan for circulation. I lost a few Neps that didn't adjust well, though I suspect they weren't doing great to begin with, but otherwise the rest thrived. They were all lowland Neps.

If you want a seasonal light change for your plants, 12 hours or a bit less.
