Thanks for the compliment. I water all my CPs except Nepenthes using the tray method. Drosera pots are placed on a tray of water so they are watered from bottom up. Also if you are using a tray method like mine, place a aquarium air hose in the water to provide some oxygen in the water. they seem to love that and you don't get bad smell from the stagnant water due to bad bacteria. The air hose also acts as a humidifier. When the air bubbles bursts out of the water it creates humidity around the growing area. As you guys know this is good as CPs love high humidity. Also for Drosera it is not advisable to water from the top over their leaves. This washes their dews away and the plant need to put more energy to make more after you water them each time. Don't laa torture them like that... for species like byblis or D. indica, if you water from the top all their leaves will be stuck together in a tangled mess.
The D. paradoxa and D. spatulata was adult plants when I transplant them there. The Utric was grown from a few patches that I dug up from my other pots.
I think Casey is the best person to talk to with regards to lighting. So far for my set up I have only tried with florescent plant lights and PL-L lights. My plants are placed about 7 inches from the light source. There are four 4-feet florescent tubes in the grow chamber.
Oh, I forgot... One thing to note abotu growing Drosera. Do not place them in an enclosed terrarium. From my observation, they seem to enjoy air circulation unlike Nepenthes.
