Alex

EDIT: and another thing too! the pitcher to the left of the pitcher im holding up was the first ever mature pitcher it made. back in may. so they do last a LONG time.

Sweet!
What soil mixture do you use?

 

[DerbyCityNeps]

its like a 1:1:2 peat perlite and sand mixture. very open...though it dosent seem like it on the top.

Is the leaf on the right a new crown or a leaf cutting?

[jimscott]

That looks like an intentional leaf cutting. Do 'em while you have 'em! That saved the species from going out of my collection!

 

[duckking]

Oh! my god! they are huge!
Fantastic ceph! May I call you "master of Cephalotus" haha~

 

[DerbyCityNeps]

VERY nice Glider.

Do you have any "before" photos? Photos of when you first received your Ceph?

 

[NeciFiX]

Same here! Lucky with Cephs. Mine was one of my first CPs, it's in a cool windowsill, low humidity, has frequent wet/dry periods and is doing great. When I got it, it had less than 1 inch pitchers, now, the average is 1.35-1.5 inch pitchers, with one about 2 inches! Yikes! (hood included)

That's an awesome plant. Expensive I bet.

yup. all $4.60

heres a pic of when i first got it...sorta... the main focus is its first pitcher ade for me... but you may be able to judge its size from the size of my fingernail.
