I'd been trying to grow these guys in a windowsill, and they clearly needed more light, so I got them a growlight and they seem to be loving it. Lots of tiny new growths with plenty of red, and the old traps are starting to color up inside. Well- the old traps that didn't burn under the new light.

This is the light: https://www.amazon.com/Sunblaster-90429 ... laster+2ft

I find it interesting that their response to the added light is to start putting out a ton of leaves. Especially the one in the last picture- I was certain that it was just one division, but apparently it has other plans.

Wow! What a difference a little more light makes.

Good growing,
