Lights

Had a surprise plant purchased for me and turns out it's a Cephalotus which I'm excited about and a little nervous due to their reputation.

Do Ceps like more light than say Neps and even Sundews? My Neps grow fine with my 1' T5 Barrina lights (I use two per shelf). Same thing with my Sundews, tho I've moved them a bit closer due to not being as red/debating on adding a third light...

I have plenty more of these lights which is why I ask i know about watering being an issue but after lots of research into that specifically I am not too worried about water.

You can get a rough idea for what different genera prefer here: https://www.carnivero.com/pages/grow-light-ppfd-recommendations

I'd recommend growing things close or slightly above their recommended max values.

Cephs should be ok if subtropical dews are doing well.

I did see that they do well in lower light as well so I wasn't too worried but I wanted the pretty red/dark colors on them

This was perfect thank you!! I think my light are 72.9 ppfd each, so 145.8 when I use two so this will be easy to go off of you're a life/time saver lol
