Hello, I have a new heliamphora. I want to try growing it in my window sill, but today the temperatures got too high(80°F). Does anybody have tips on how to keep it colder?(should also mention that in looking for kind of a low budget solution).
Or do you think I you go with arteficial light? If so, what light would I need to use and how should I set it up?

I don’t have too much experience with helis, but I think that artificial lights would probably be your best bet.

Hello

Yes T5 tubes are great, among other type, to keep a high light level and low temperatures
