I've got a magic window!
The following is from Ron's thread on his Cephs.
A little background on my Ceph 'HG'. Purchased back in June 2005.
It hardly grew, was certainly unhappy but I dragged my feet doing anything with the plant. Finally March 20, 2011 I re-potted the plant. I immediately could see the issue. Half the roots were rotted, the soil waterlogged because the small drainage hole was clogged in the pot.
I re-potted it into a pot with a lot more drainage hole in the bottom of the pot and used a very airy mix.
This picture is from November 30, 2010 of my unhappy 'HG' - 5 years looking like this
Now about 1 year after re-potting
Now my 'HG' and Typical together

About the media, I thought about posting a picture of my 'HG' yesterday after seeing a few ceph pics recently. I think I can find a before picture. My media was very dense and held a lot of water. The plant sulked and hardly grew. Now that it's in a much better draining soil, it's taken off like a weed..... Might have to get the camera out.
Soooo - dig out the camera & show us what you're talking about ---
