I’ve been loving my pings lately! Top left to right: p. Pirouette, p. Esseriana, p. Lauena x emarginata. Bottom: drosera Capensis ( this was a little baby that came off of my mother drosera and it’s grown so much!) 🌱🌸 I can’t wait until my pings flower!

I love your little 'pingdom'! I've been wanting to get into them. What do you do to provide them enough light?

#### Anya replied on 2025-08-19

Thank you! I highly recommend them, I only got my first around March this year and now I have quite a few others ☺️ I keep them about 7 inches away from a barrina t5 grow light (for 10-12 hours per day) but honestly think they’d still be happy a little further away than that. If you only use natural light, I think a western window should be enough light, and definitely a southern window!

Thanks! Always curious which grow lights people use. I currently just use natural light, but have been considering getting a few lights.

By far my favorites are Rousseau and sol tech lights but they are pricey! So barinna strip lights are a great alternative for shelves / places you need a lot of the lights or for a budget :)
