What do you think of my set up? I run the light for 12 hours and I always keep it into water in the tray. Any tips or tricks are much appreciated. I’m trying to give it more light so I can get the sundews to get red.
The nepenthes need less light than the droseras, and shouldn’t sit in water

For indoor setups, white full-spectrum light is better imo as it has all the wavelengths that natural sunlight has while the purple lights do not. I’ve been growing both my neps and droseras at light intensities around 300 ppfd, kept on for 14h, giving a DLI of about 15. You might want to get the Photone app and measure your actual light ppfd, then convert to DLI and see if you are meeting the minimal requirements on [this chart](https://curiousplant.com/light-carnivorous-plants-part-2/?srsltid=AfmBOooOaGtkqSg5anmxTGJoRVUPj37btD0XXXjD20aH4YbyZvjlrirD).

Oh both sundews are making dew pretty good.
