Congrats Jon!

You should remember that it is completely normal to experience some die-back after being moved.

Also, make sure the crown doesn't stay too wet for too long.

And remember to check for pests/quarantine your plant for a little while. I've had huge problems with pests the last couple years. They can spread between your neps, cephs, and sundews very easily.

 

[amphirion]

@manzano: yes it is mine

@ jimmy: thanks, i am looking forward to watching this baby grow!

@ jeff: thanks a lot about the heads up with the pests and stuff, will keep an eye out. as for watering, i will be putting it in a shallow water tray during the day, and then removing it and placing it in a cooldown tank along with my neps and heli at night.

We're not allowed to name vendors here. There are two that I know of that are selling cephs right now, I'd just check the big name vendors online.

Nice Ceph!!!! Have multi growth points This baby will thrive Under some TLC..

 

[Ngantnier]

Awesome looking cephs! Looks like a real beast.

 

[amphirion]

Thanks everyone! So far so good! no drooping pitchers yet!

 

[Adam]

that looks like you got it from lowes just the pot, but the quality is WAYY too nice

 

[mcantrell]

What's that little green stuff in the upper right of your pot? I have that everywhere, and it's somewhat annoying.

 

[Wolfn]

I like the use of sphagnum moss on the top. It makes the whole plant look more lush. I have just plain peat and sand in mine, which looks sort of plain.

I'm late to the Ceph party, but I wanted to say congrats on the awesome new plant!

 

[uphwiz]

wolfn , hows yours doing , is it out in the cold or do you have it in side.
youve had it what two weeks now , how did it handle the repot? its ok isnt it lets see a up date picture.

 

[amphirion]

@ wolfin: actually, when i received the plant, it was covered with shredded sphagnum which is what you see there in the picture. i used a paint brush to get off most of it, but as you can see there's still a good amount left. if it grows, that'd be amazing. how is yours doing btw?

@mmlr38: you're not too late! the party still going on!

My Ceph is doing good. So far, there's no set back. All the leaves are still green and I see a new pitcher forming that looks like it has some red veins on it (I guess my light is better than I thought).

However, I'm now suddenly thinking of adding some sphagnum moss on top after looking at the picture of the Ceph in this thread.


Edit: I just got a new Nepenthes Truncata today, so I'll try and take some new pictures of everything tomorrow (Saturday)

If you have problems overwatering your ceph i suggest you keep your peat/sand mix on top so you can see when you have to water the plant in place of guessing....something to think about.

 

[thez_yo]

Geez your plant looks absolutely wonderful! I just love ceph's tubby fuzzy pitchers.

I get the feeling your new plant was born where my new plant was born...
