James, Looks like you got "crickets" with that question. ;^) I myself have not grown mj plant, but I can tell you that in my search for growing the carnivorous pitcher plant (venus fly tray also) every time I do a web search for instructions I get lots and lots of instructions how to grow mj. I believe the light requirements are similar because the pitcher & flytraps need at least 4 hours full sun. I give mine 4-10 hours full sun depending on the season. In the terrarium I use a 42 watt (150 watt equivalent) the light bulb is about 1 foot from the soil level. If you're measuring a CFL you can use a camera light meter. Should be 100 iso, F8/ shutter speed 125.. in other words... daylight. Other than that I have no idea regarding soil requirements, water, fertilizer, etc etc. I imagine it can't be too difficult it's just a weed... right? Good luck, Nick

I found a perfect place inside the house that is good for the venus flytrap. The common sundew and pitcher plant should be about the same, right, according to that reading?

Hi Robby, Thank you for your response. I am using distilled water and I'm trying to grow them in a terrarium. I see that grow lights are not supported and I know they do best outside in good sunlight. However, the issue of attention to watering the plant in my back yard is why I need it to be here under my nose. The Sundews seem to really like it while the Flytraps & Pitcher plants are doing okay. Thanks, Nick.

I have the Nepenthes, though I'd like to grow a Sarracenia too... if I can get either to live I'll be impressed!

Hi Robby, Would you add the Pitcher plant and Sundews? Thanks, Nick
