Hey all,

I've normally got all my carnivorous plants growing under 2 Yescom 225 grow panels without any issue, but I was hoping to take one of them up into my bedroom to put on my dresser near my southwest facing window because I keep getting small flying bugs in my room and I've love for them to eat some.

Which one of these would be best suited for this window? I've got a Pinguicula Gigantea, Cape Sundew, Drosera Spatulata, Nepenthes Lady Luck, and Nepenthes Ventrata.

I do have one of those cheap $20 gooseneck full spectrum growlights from Amazon leftover from when I first started growing plants to help supplement the window lighting. Not particularly powerful but it hits around 5k LUX (at least my phone's LUX app tells me that)

Window in question:

All of the above would be fine in a southwest facing windowsill. The Neps you might want to hang so they don't get too much direct light as it can be more intense in the afternoon. But the rest will be happy.
