Maybe Jimscott can put a baby into a reed basket and float it down a river to you! You could name it: Mocephs!!

 

[elgecko]

Here is the parent plant that Scotts came from.
It is in a 4" pot and it's a typical.
I do have a "Hummers Giant" that has a long way to go before it will look good.

Jim: Great looking plant! Very cute

Elgecko: I've seen that picture on your website before, but I can't just not say anything about it now: Wow! That plant is a monster! How old is it? How big is the biggest pitcher? Great job man!

Oh, of course

 

[elgecko]

Thanks for the comments.

LLeopardGGecko,
My plant was smaller then yours when I got it. It took about a year before it started to create mature pitchers.
The largest pitcher is about 1 1/4". It is going on 3 years in my care.

heres one of my two cephs...its really growing fast compared to what i have read and was told. i think maybe people pamper it TOO much. lol

 

[LLeopardGGecko]

What an awesome looking Ceph, Spike! Do you grow it inside under lights?

I agree with you about the pampering. Sometimes you just have to let the little guys fight for themselves. Makes em' stronger

 

[Spikeanator]

ya it is in a lil "shelve" thing i made which i put in our basement. then i hung some tube flouresents over it and...well it has worked well for me

thanks

Here's one of my Cephalotus.  It develops a nice dark purple color:

I tried to do a side by side comparison showing color variation between two plants:

 

[LLeopardGGecko]

That's crazy Brian. You may have mentioned it before, but are both those Cephs grown in the same conditions?

 

[Brian_W]

The plants are growing under to different light conditions.  The dark purple one is growing under 6 40watt tubes, a combination of daylight and cool white.  The bright red plant is growing under 4 40watt tubes, a combination of wide spectrum and cool white.  If you look at the markings on the under side of the lids, you can see that they are the same for both pitchers.  This is because they are the same clone.  It shows how plants respond to different quanities and qualities of light.
