I'll check the lighting later today. I know www.growsundews.com does not have much in the way of pygmies, but I followed your other link and it gave me some useful info. I followed a link on that page and it seems they grow well outdoors. I might try this, but I need advice in the way of acclamating it so it doesn't get burned. Do you have any info on this? It seems they grow native to Australia and right now we are having a long, dry summer. It seems a good fit.

I grow indoors but my general belief is that plants should be gradually introduced to sunlight by starting them out in partial shade for three or four hours then after a few days to a week moving them more and more into the sun. Once this has been achieved you then increase the length of time they stay outside by an additional two or so hours every few days until new growth appears that isn't sunburned and you're confident the plant can fend for itself.

This process can be sped up if you're feeling more on the confident side... of course, this is purely from research and I have yet to try it myself.

I love Scorps. Been growing them for about 4 years now from gemmae produced by the first one I bought 4 years ago. VERY easy to grow from gemmae!

Mine have never flowered though. Some are under a T5 light, some in a west window.

From a year or 2 ago:

People come and go from this forum.
The original date on that thread is a few years back.

The best way to get answers is usually to post a new thread.
If you can include a photo to illustrate your problem, that's very helpful.

Good growing,
Mike
