Hello. I recently moved to Oregon for school and had to leave behind the California sun shine that my plants loved so much. I've been wanting to get into some grow lights for my plants that really want more sun. Just a little set up for a few of them in a space about 2 feet X 1 foot. It does get sunny in the summer that I can eventually put them out into, I'm just worried about the winters.
My 'picky' plants that im worried about are a Nepenthes and a soon to be added Heliamphora minor (want to get one for my self for my birth day next month). But I would use my grow area for seedlings and the like as well once I get the set up going. Flowering isn't really a problem, by the time plants are ready to flower, there should be sufficient temperatures and real light out side in the spring/summer.
While at Walmart looking for some fixtures I found a 24 inch Light of America 'portable' Grow Light 75 watt light output that only uses 17 watts energy for $10. I bought one and a timer and took it home to try and do some research. Nothings really coming up for carnivorous plants, every time I try and search something, It's just websites about growing pot and the like.
I'm open to adding another light if I have to. I feel like it's too good to be true since everyone suggests 50-150 dollar fixtures.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to indoor lighting, so thanks for the help guys.
