This would be a great time to use the search function since I'm sure there is at least one post about general ceph care.
These are probably things you should think about prior to getting a plant; but anyways, I have mine in a tray that I let dry for a few days between waterings. Give it lots of light, and don't move it around a lot.

Nice! Your first ceph! Got it while you were in Portland?

Stay chooned in for more!
I like tall, wide terra cotta pots. something they can stay in for a long time so you don't have to repot them for a while.
I think my mix is 2/1 perlite/peat and I don't put it in a tray of water except for when I leave town. I grow it like a nepenthes and top water.

Ooh! Can I say it too? Use the search feature. HAHA!
Seriously, you'll find many different methods. I don't use a tray. I have mine in a windowsill, but I live in Seattle, so it's pretty humid here. Um.. Just be sure to let it dry out between waterings. And don't move it around a lot. When you pot it, you should make a mound in the center where you plant the ceph to keep it higher above the soil and prevent mold and fungus.
