I just got into Carnivorous Plants, and set up a fish tank with a water pump and water lines running into each pot. Currently I have two pots, with space for about 8 more, one with Capensis Alba and Spatulata, and another with Prolifera and Capensis Red. I'm going to get a digital outlet timer to run the light I have set up for 7pm-7am, the humidity is high. I also have to order a CPU fan and wire that up so I can provide some air circulation every so often and strengthen the stalks of the plants. I'm curious as to what other types of carnivorous plants will do well in the setup I have? Thanks! Edit: If anyone's interested in pics of my current setup, you can view it here - imgur.com/a/DW4P0

I realize this was moved to Drosera because I have those in my tank right now, but I was really looking into different ones like Nepenthes etc, so I don't think this really fits in the Drosera forum.

What's your day & night temp in your terrarium?

Moved it to indoor growing.
Like some has asked, what temps are you running? There are a variety of Nepenthes that will suit most temperature ranges.
Some Mexi-Ping hybrids or P. agnata and P. gigantea make good terrarium plants.
Most Utricularia grow extremely well in terrariums too. You'll have a lot of options.

cploverr and H2O, in regards to temp, it's not regulated and I'm not sure what it's at at the moment. I just ordered a humidity gauge which includes a temp reading off amazon so I'll be able to keep an eye on all of that.
That said, it is pretty damn humid in that tank. If I stick my hand in, I can feel the moisture on my hand immediately. Hope that's okay.
WillyCKH, I had a d. adalae and binata before this setup that didn't quite make it unfortunately, I do intend to get them again soon!
I'm assuming the Nepenthes I'll need to stay away from are the Highlanders though right as they require a different environment?

My suggestion would be to watch the temp reading each morning, afternoon, and evening when the lights are off. Write those down and it will give us a general idea of how hot/cold your tank will get. Then we'll be able to give a good suggest for plants that could work for you.
