Terrarium (artificial LED) Lighting

9 years ago

I am designing a small 10 gallon terrarium for primarily carnivorous plants. I plan to have a variety including flytraps, pitcher plants, and Sundews. I have spoken with a professional fly trap grower who insists upon 6700 Kelvin lighting. I was planning on using FlexFire LED strips that run 6250 Kelvin. My question is is that sufficient for fly traps and other carnivorous plants and or should I have other spectrums as well?

The same person that I spoke with also was adamant that fly traps no matter what you did, would eventually die in a terrarium, however I believe I have found solutions to all of the problems that she mentioned. I have also considered adding more lights in the red spectrum. I'd appreciate any feedback.
