I recently got into carnivorous plants, I started with just a small nepenthes alata, but when he doubled, it was time for more. Now I have 3 dionea, ~10 nepenthes, 2 sundews (technically a huge amount more, but only 2 that I purchased, thanks CA carnivores for the huge amount of random sundews growing in my plants pots, its really great, awesome quality plants too), ~8 sarracenia, a little butterwort, and my pride, a cephalotus follicarius. The nepenthes vary, most are without fully developed pitchers at the moment, so they are hard to identify, but 2 of my Ventricosa are huge, and 1 of my alatas is also quite developed (the original), I also know I have a deniflora robicantelii, I'm not sure about the others though. Anyway my primary concern is the growing conditions, I use RO water and a hydrofarm 2" grow light with a 6500K bulb and a 4000K bulb. The plants show excellent growth, the problem is that I do not include a temperature drop. I'm worried this might affect them later? Thanks for the advice. Any help is great.
