Hi Philip,

If you are using a red/blue LED as your only light source, it is likely you will need a white LED or other full spectrum source in addition or instead. It would be best to check the specs for your current light and see if any information is provided on the spectral range it covers. You can also check out Part 3 of this series for some good examples of lights (including LEDs) with wide spectral ranges: https://curiousplant.com/best-grow-lights-part-3/. I hope this helps and thank you for getting in touch!

Thank you,
Elizabeth

I see that all spectrum is needed but I am unsure if the Red Blue LED lights I have are good for my sundews/nepenthes/bladderworts or if I need to get a White LED light
