Hi Gilles,

I've had the same experience with neon tubes designed for aquaria and which
emitted too much in the blue light range. I can also tell you that what
works on Drosera also works on Pinguicula to some extend, mostly the ones
from the south eastern USA.

Just compensate this defect by adding some neon tubes with warm light
(emitting more red radiations). With my neon tubes, I used an equal number
of cool and warm light tubes. These other fluorescent bulbs are also sold
by aquarium shops. In my hands, they tend to favor leaf growth and prevent
flower formation.

I hope it helps.
