Thanks guys, my first full growing season for these and propagating from leaves, and I am proud of my babies.
A big thank you to Jerry for giving me the opportunity to try my hand at these amazing plants and to all who advised me on how to grow them successfully.
Great plants, DJ! I've yanked a few leaves off of mine earlier this summer and now I have a bunch of lil' ones pitchering madly away in a tray of sphagnum. So easy to propagate this species!
Yeah, definitely worth the wait! I had success in a tray of moss and in a pot of peat/sand. This leaf pulling stuff is addicting, LOL.
Cool pics & plants but I noticed that your sand is much more clear & sparkly than mine (what's up with that?? Very jealous!)
Haha. Glad you like it. It is recycled crushed glass called TriVitro used for sandblasting, much cheaper than pool or other silica sand and I can get it locally. A little distracting as a top dressing, but I figure once the plants grow it will not be so much.
OMG SPARKLES!
Hehehe, isn't growing Cephs from leaf oullings fun?
Awesome plants!
Yeah, fun and very addicting. Should come with some kind of warning, haha.
and here you're pretending you don't know what you're doing. Glad we have the same teacher..
Are these all outdoors?
I didn't know what I was doing, but Jerry made it look so easy and willing to share his "secrets" that I had to try.
They are grown inside. The big ones are on a window sill and the babies are under a shop light, I just took them outside to get better pics. I tried to grow the Hummer outside once and almost murdered it by doing so.
