Kg,

It's likely the neps will have to be moved to the lower shelf...

the bigger one i have already moved down. will the smaller ones be okay on the top ? or nah ?

 

[Av8tor1]

depends on light level and species, but in my rack.... big nah LOL

 

[kgrudz]

ill try it out and see how it goes. they might dig it.

 

[Av8tor1]

yes, they can handle some but watch for yellowing of the leaf margins.... seems to be the first indicator of "damaging" levels

4 bulb or 6?

 

[kgrudz]

its just a 4.

Here is a common ventricosa that was on the lower shelf of mine:

(gave it to a friend, their teenage kid watered it with hot water... dead dead dead sheesh)

[Av8tor1]

kgrudz- excellent set up! Very inspiring, and those plants look great as well! do the nepenthes really get enough light on the lower shelves like that? Do you have to arrange the top=shelf plants in a special way to let light through?
