If those are the cfl's, the curly ones, some members have been getting good results with them. I don't use anything smaller than a 40w cfl now. Most cp's are sun loving plants, especially the sun pitchers.

Yup, but figured it'd be enough being 2 inches away, Hmmm.... I'll keep an on it, hopefully it will keep making mature pitchers.

I may be wrong, but having the light 2" away might have some impact on the nectar spoons forming properly...maybe too much heat. But if you can, look into getting a larger cfl, you can have brighter light and be able to keep the bulb a bit farther back from your plant. You'll be glad you did.

True! But these are special cool lights they barely let of heat, umm the reason i didn't have proper nectar spoons before was because they had low light levels.

Yes this hobby is a biology class in itself. All the latin names of plants, plus all the bugs they eat and their latin names...it's amazing what a person can learn when they're interested in their subject.
