Another form, grown under similar conditions. It does not colour up as readily but gives larger pitchers.

Wow.

You've really had some luck w/ cephalotus!

Thanks for sharing.
 
what's your substrate recipe and how much watering do you do?

Incredible Cephs as always! :D Great camera, too.
 
Thanks everyone. I have not been looking at them much lately and was truely amazed at the rate of growth since March when I compared the photos. Apparently, they are really happy with the recent weather - rain storm in the morning followed with scorching sun in the late afternoon.

what's your substrate recipe and how much watering do you do?

Raimeiken, the substrate is mostly a mixture of peat and sand, with some pine bark to increase aeration. They are top watered every 1-2 days.
