FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I have some Venues Flytrap 'Dionaea muscipula' germinated in Tissue culture.

I know it needs much light (full sun or so) usual cultivation.
But in vitro, full sunlight will boil it and would kill it .

How much light does it need ?

Now I put this cup by a small window not direct sun.

I use an aquarium light full spectrum for other plants (spore germination of staghorn fern)

Not much. For my cultures, I use a fluorescent light covered with a filter to cut down on the amount of light.

Thank you for your advice !
Do you think it is enough by the window ?

Might need a bit more than that. Unless it gets full sun through the window most of the day. But that window looks to be facing away from the sun.

I don't have the windows which are facing to the sun during summer.
Do you think it's better under the aquarium light ?
