Hey Everyone,

Sharing a few pictures from when the CP bug really hit me. Made many mistakes along the way, but it's the best way to learn. Enjoy!

Thanks for looking!

I need to do this with some of my photos. I'll have to do that tomorrow. The growth rate on the robcantleyi is amazing!
 
Your Cephalotus picture is a good example of why it's unnecessary to repot as soon as the pitchers start to reach the edge of the pot. A pot full of pitchers looks so much nicer than seeing the growing medium.
 
Great pictures, and fun to see the before and afters. Maybe we should start a "before and after" thread for everyone to post to.
 
The "before and after" theme is an awesome idea, and very interesting to see! As other have mentioned, perhaps when I hit one full year of CP growing..I'll try this :) Awesome job and beautiful plants! It is always a learning experience, usually by trial and error for most of us, I'm sure! I know it has been/is for me! ;)
 
Great watching all the before and after pics. Especially good work with the Truncata. Is it a pasian? Love that sarr as well.

Thanks, TOG. It's a robcantleyi! I'd be interested in seeing how your sarrs look this time of year, being a fellow NorCal grower :)

Very Nice . I've thought of doing this, but haven't gotten around to it quite yet.
Is that ceph a hummers giant?

You guessed it, a Hummers!

Thanks everyone for the comments! I agree, we should get an ongoing post with 'Then and Now' photos. I'd love to see everyone's photos. If I come accross any more I'll be sure to share.

In the mean time, feel free to add to this thread. There are some big time vertans of the trade out there. Let's see those photos.
 
Nice! Did you get it online or from someone local?

My sarrs are just some rhizomes in the ground for now but hopefully they'll wake up in a week or two.

Anything waking up for you over there?
