Giving Cephs another shot!

[SirKristoff]

While my hummer's giant is at a friends house recovering (still) and i will receive divisions from it over time, i figured i would start again with cephalotus before i get those divisions, this is the first of the two that i am starting up again with, the other will be here next week.

 

[Chunkyhunks]

Very nice! Good luck with it.

 

[Capensis]

So cute, lol. Wish you luck

 

[Ant]

nice. looks happy! What happened to the hummer's giant?

 

[SirKristoff]

Its at a friends house, recovering like I've said many times. Once its big enough, he will send me some divisions.

 

[Ant]

um, lol. I meant what is it recovering from? Also when you say he will send divisions, do you mean he is gonna keep the mother plant?

 

[Jefforever]

I'd love to get my hands on a piece of Clint's clone. Please lemme know when you have spares. ;D

 

[SirKristoff]

Yes. I gave him the mother plant basically. But I get as many divisions as I want from it when available. It almost died from powdery white mildew and root issues.

 

[obregon562]

nice! were these Ebay plants?
keep us updated!

 

[upper]

hope your friend is a really good expert.

 

[SirKristoff]

Upper-ron is a very successful grower of nearly all CPs...... Obregon-the plant is from nevermore actually, and the seedgrown I have coming is from a nursery here in the northwest

 

[BigBella]

Treat it like your highlanders -- though maybe slightly drier -- and Cephalotus will do just fine . . .

 

[xvart]

Why would you only get divisions? Why don't you get the "mother plant" back and make your own divisions?

xvart.

 

[SirKristoff]

only asked for divisions xvart.
Rons done some amazing things for me in the past, its my way of paying him back i guess.

 

[SirKristoff]

Here is the second ceph
is seedgrown
i was very surprised when it arrived, the website said "small plants about 1" in diameter producing immature pitchers, will be another 1-2 years before it produces mature pitchers, 3-4 years before flowering maturity"
well here it is in 3" pot

 

[Capensis]

Looks great, I'm jealous. xD I wonder how long it will be until mine make a mature pitcher...

 

[SirKristoff]

depends on the age capensis.
thanks for the comments

 

[Capensis]

depends on the age capensis.

I have no idea what it is, but my guess is maybe a year, give or take.

 

[Ant]

Lovely plant kris. I ordered from the same place but, I don't think I will be as lucky as you! If I am they need a new ruler...
