Cephs in CO

[hcarlton]

I don't think I've ever started a thread just for my cephs, so here goes....
With increasing light and temps the first new pitchers of the year are beginning to grow, though the noncarnivorous leaves still dominate

The first mature pitchers finally open!

It's always nice when the first mature pitcher opens. Good job!

Nice job Hawken! Those are gorgeous.

 

[hcarlton]

Of course with hot summer weather they've slowed down and reverted to some smaller pitchers, but so long as they stick around until fall....

A little color has infused now, and new adult pitchers are coming in

Behold, my first successful leaf pulling! There are now full fledged leaves on it

The cephs are slowing for winter, and the funky transition leaves are forming...

Multiple growth points are also showing up on both

Great cephs you got there! What kind of conditions are you giving them?

 

[hcarlton]

Roughly a Mediterranean climate, very warm in summer and between 50-70F in winter. Humidity probably 60% or so, beyond that I don't have real specifics: 2 2foot T8 shoplights, and one 2 foot sunblaster T5.

Another funky leaf....

And a second. I get odd images looking at these...

Oh look, something normal this time:

[curtisconners]

How come your ceph is so green? Does it have to do with that clone or is it the light level? I kinda like it.

Oh yeah, go funky intermediate leaves!!!

 

[hcarlton]

Color can be dependent on clone, but more so on light levels. There are 2 clones here, in a relatively short pot amongst pots meant for tuberous sundews, and will be getting repotted eventually to something taller; they have the capacity to turn darker, and have done so on the lids before.

 

[hcarlton]

Freshly repotted (into a taller pot too so hopefully color will be better) these guys have since lost most of their leaves, but are still alive, and beginning to come round again

Interesting shape on that one bottom left pitcher in the top picture.

 

[hcarlton]

I guess I'm not seeing it; if you're referring to the big open pitcher in the top photo, that's the same one that's in the bottom pic, and it looks pretty normal to me.
