Hi Steve,

for about 3 years I use a mix of bulbs with warm-white flourescent light and
cool-white light for cultivation of my Ping's. I have placed my plants about 15
cm below the bulbs. They grow fantastically and some species got even dark red
leaves (like P. reticulata, P. moranensis 'rosei' or P. emarginata).
