Hi,
I have this set up for the lowland nepenthes.
But I don't know how much time should the lights be on.
How much time would you recommend for a set up like this ?
Or what is the minimum time you would give to a lowland pitcher plant?

That’s really more of a single plant LED and it’s WAY TOO HIGH. It needs to be at most 2 feet above plants. Even then 1.5. I know because I have two of them myself haha

Ok, I have another of those LED lamps but it's for my sundews.
I'll bring the bulb more closely using one of those hanging sockets.
How much photoperiod do you give them, may I take a look at your set up for reference please ???

12-15 hours is what most people do. A lot of your light is being wasted. Get a clamp reflector. One 1600+ lumen CFL above the plants should be sufficient.

Alright, I'll search for one of those, I thought that because of being a lowland grower it'll need less photoperiod.
Thank you
