Cephalotus

[Sage269]

What are good pot mates for Cephalotus?

Thanks!

Some like to grow Drosera hamiltonii with Cephalotus as they are both found in the same geographic area. I'm guessing that there are many bog plants that would be happy growing beside cephs.

My understanding is that Cephalous likes a dryer / sandier soil than most common Drosera. I don't see any Drosera hamiltonii available right now but I will keep an eye peeled for it.

Thanks.

Sorry I couldn't provide photos since I currently at overseas, but I have indoor cephalotus surrounded by some pygmy drosera (omissa & scorpioides). I think lot of Australian drosera growing in sandy / inorganic soils.

Found a photo at my phone. Sorry with the quality as its taken with cheap phone camera.

Its d. omissa, one of the larger pygmy. Its photo from few months ago. And I think they bloomed last week.
