@@AlainCh2. thanks 😊
man I remember a year ago or maybe two(Can't quite remember forgive me) you started this chanel, now you have definitely my favourite man to reach to for nepenthes advices. I just wanna say good job man! I really enjoyed your contents!
Wow, thanks!
This review is super useful! Thank you Remy!
love sansi , i have their older 70w box, multibulb model , my plants do great , would love a few more to try
I set up their 4 head lamp @ 10 watts each, most plants are about a foot away. It's colored up the leaves pretty well, the goosenecks give me a lot of control and coverage.
Yup, out of all the Sansi grow lights that's my favorite for this same reason. ;)
Hi Remi - I have a south window that gets a LOT of light, but it is very direct all day as there is no overhang (it "touches the plants" I think you say). I thought that would be too strong, so have a sheer curtain over the window between the glass and the plants. Do you think that is enough for a N. 'Bloody Mary"? I do have the Sansi clip-on 10W lights but use those for my Cephalotus.
Maybe try without the curtain to see how the leaves react? I looks strong but depending where you live it can still be ok. ;)
@@WindowsillNepenthes - I am in Washington State, south of British Columbia, and we are known more for our rain. 😅 I noticed my N Ventricosa 'Red" was getting red tinge on the leaves, but I am unsure if it's sunburn or natural coloration. I have never seen sunburn in person. All of my Neps say "diffuse bright light" so I am also unsure what "diffuse" means vs "direct".
@@barbbellmont2670 red leaves are no problem. Also right now in autumn and winter the sund is very weak anyways.
Yea in my greenhouse I just now took down the shade and added a heater
Yeah, that's a season... "Winter is coming" 👀
I grow my Nepenthes on a west facing window, it's still super bright though since my oldest plant has reddish leaves (not sunburn, its a deep kind of purplish red throughout the whole leaf.)
in October, November and December we get about 7-9 hours of sunlight a day. Would that be enough for N. Rebecca Soper and a Ventrata?
I was planning on moving it from an east facing window to a west facing window as the day progresses. As much as I'd love a grow light, the economic crisis here in Lithuania is quite severe, so not only are the grow lights expensive, but the power to use them is aswell 😅
Thank you!
Those are strong hybrids so it may works. Worst case scenario they won't pitcher for a few month but they will stay healthy. I did that for years. ;)
Due to energy prices, using a powerful light like that for my plants will bankrupt me within a few months. 😭 I'm currently using 9 and 12W LED shoplights. My small Nepenthes get around 2500-3000 lux, according to my phone. It dóes colour up my N. 'Rebecca Soper', and slightly burn my N. 'Gaya', so I guess it is enough for now. The light is like 20cm above the plants, so I guess I can get away with that.
I realised this summer that the sun is too high up in the sky to get into my windows, due it being blocked by the balcony above me. In autumn/winter, the sun is low enough to shine onto my windowsill, but most of the days it's cloudy then, so that doesn't help.
I'm thinking of a lighting system for the bigger plants that doesn't break the bank in electicity costs, but I fear that I can't skimp on this.
If your Nepenthes is colouring nicely and is pitchering, you have the good amount of light ;)
But LED aren't expensive to run when you do the math. Here is a Google Doc to help you see exactly how much you spend: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vMPGZn4k6t_6xz6l9wzBYOoUzhkChyQOQ4n5MeAlor8/edit?usp=sharing
What light do you use? 2500-3000 lux sounds a lot for 9 & 12w lights.
@@HyeonsikLi I'm using Noxion Batline lights. The 12W is 90cm long (3ft-ish), and the 9W is 60CM long (2ft-ish). Not expensive at all.
It was measured with my phone, so accuracy depends on that.
@@divingaquarist i thought about using a Twinstar Light B. But it has 9w and only 679 lux. Also 7500K isnt really good for carnivorous plants. Most people claim 4000K to be best.
SUPERRRRR🤖🤖🤖
I need some help, I tried planting some Nepenthes seeds and the plant pot I used with the seeds started growing mold 2 weeks after I started planting them, should I throw the seeds out and start a new batch? And how can I prevent this in the future? :lll
You can microwave the sphagnum for 2 minutes, increase the airflow my also help. If the seeds didn't sprout yet, spray with hydrogen peroxide. if they have sprout then remore themold and wait for the seedlings to be bigger then you can repot in 1-2 months. That happen all the time....
@@WindowsillNepenthes hmm thanks for the tips, what’s a good way to increase ventilation, a small fan? And I’m worried about it blowing away my seeds. Also does cinnamon work as anti fungicide or is hydrogen prox just more effective?
@@WindowsillNepenthes I’ve also seen people grow them inside ziplock bags, how effective do you think that method is? Certainly increases humidity (which I have been doing by covering them with a clear plastic bag which I believe is the reason why I developed the mold problem in the first place).
Hi Remi! I want to buy this Plantlamp but because of your experience I have one Question. On Amazon says the Description it is not waterproof and should not be in use in an Environment with high humidty. So my Question: Is it ok to use when you have Watertrays and a humidifier like you have?
Yes 😃 It's good in humid area, but I would not Souray directly on it. ;)
@@WindowsillNepenthes So like you with the Trays and the Humidifier is not a Problem?
@@tironjr For me they are 4 feet above the trays so it's safe.
@@WindowsillNepenthes ok
@@WindowsillNepenthes 4 ft sounds quite far away. I was thinking about 20-30 cm. Is that too close?
Big Issue !!!! People in Europe cannot use that links and help the channel 😞 Import duty, I suppose are to be paid for everything coming from USA
No Amazon links we can use on this side of the pond ?
I asked Sansi but for Amazon, as I didn't got the 3 item sold in the time frame, I've been rejected from their Affiliate Program... :s

@@WindowsillNepenthes
I've got a 60w on the original link > free shipping for 38€. That's should be under the 45€ limit for import duty !!!
I update when received.
(I'm not in a hurry so 38€ it's less then on Amazon It 40€ 24h delivery)
@@AlainCh2. Thanks 😊
Can you recommend any other lights besides Sansi?
I would need to try them to recommend them. But as soon as I try others I'll let you know 😌
@@WindowsillNepenthes i might consider getting the sansi 36w. Not sure how to install it though.
@@HyeonsikLi it's just like a regular bulb 💡. So like or like a desk light. :) But not too close to the plants.
lmao at Franky
What’s the actual PPFD values?
The Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) comparison is visible at 5:47 ;)
@@WindowsillNepenthes Lux & Lumens are for humans. PPFD are what plants see. So use a PPFD meter (best) or an app like photone. Smartphones need a diffuser over the camera to keep it from focusing. A strip of printer paper works best. Inspired by this week’s video, I’ve lowered wattage this week to 10W/sq/ft yielding 110ppfd. We’ll see how these particular Neps react.
