    Cephalotus appreciation thread

    This is my Giant ceph. Largest pitchers, from bottom to top of the teeth, are just shy of two inches at present. And that's a Canadian quarter....

    Always use a safety line (visible in this photo) when working near the edge of the abyss!!

    VFT Leaf Pullings

    Here's a shot to show the "missing' vft. Also, the photos above are hosted on photobucket. I would suggest they be resized to 640X480 (like this photo) so they fit on ou screens and no "side schrolling" is needed.

    Why I like the Cephalotus so much...

    Here's some more photos of a ceph trap......notice the overlaying collar visible in second photo..partially down the trap......if you are a bug and fall in...and successfully climb the wall up to this collar......how do you get past it........can't climb on it upside down!!

    Cephalotus - fungicide sensitivity; suggesitons?

    I used a product called Safer's "Defender" on my two cephs when they were suffering from grey mildew. Its .40% sulphur. Seemed to cure the problem with no ill affects. I would just spray the plant then top water it to rinse the excess that got on the soil and not the plant.

    Cephalotus suddenly putting out larger pitchers - norm?

    My ceph did what was described. Small plant, small traps...no non-trap leaves..then suddenly puts on much larger traps- have a look at my post on our Canadian Website- http://ocps.proboards78.com/index.cgi?board=photos&action=display&thread=1152914622&page=3

    Grow shelf idea thing

    Check this out 1)  Borrow a chop saw. 2)  Buy some 1 X 6 and some glue and screws. 3)  Figure out how many shelves, how tall, how much   distance to allow for light fixture thickness/distance from plant/height of plants pots. 4) Build it.

    is there gonna b a problem?

    Those leaves are fakers.  They look all black and rotten so you yank on them and suddenly they have the strength of a steel cable and yank the plant out.  Now i give it a gentle tug...if nothing...get out my small scissors and cut it.   Been there and done that....brings back memories....
