That was what I was wondering... I have one 3' grolux tube about 10"
away from the Nepenthes and I don't know if the intensity is enough.
My terrarium has only just been set up and I am trying to find out if
I am doing the right thing before the plants start to die on me! :-)
I am tempted to try and rig up another tube but would like to know if
the setup I have is sufficient as it is.

Andrew
