« Thread Started on May 19, 2008, 2:56pm »
What do you do after a long and hard day at work? You pot up a batch of Cephalotus plants! :lol:
The plants arrive bareroot as usual. The ones shown here are the M to L size plants.

Not much growth because it is autumn and they are just recovering from the summer heat. But look at those new offshoots... http://s3.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

None the less, the pitchers are still quite a nice size.

Does anyone think the Cephalotus guessing should be made into a poll? « Last Edit: May 21, 2008, 8:31am by marigoldsfail21 »Link to Post - Back to Top http://s3.images.proboards.com/ip.gif Logged plantlover

No need for a poll. 'Cos I myself is not sure how many there are! http://s3.images.proboards.com/grin.gif
Well, I know how many were sent to me though... http://s3.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

Hey, would be very fun to have a poll, and it's easier for you to count the growing tips than us, since you have the plants.

Tarence,
Nearly all the large pitchers you see in the pics have turned brown and dried up. But the growing tips have started new growth. http://s3.images.proboards.com/grin.gif
The best of the lot are the medium and large size plants. IMHO, they are easier to harden compared to the small plants. And fewer losses.
Ali & Marigold,
I can't tell how many plants there are now by counting the growing tips 'cos some of the larger plants come with more than one growth points. http://s3.images.proboards.com/wink.gif There were exactly 50 plants that came. But now I am sure I have less than that number of growing tips which are green. Most losses are the small plants. http://s3.images.proboards.com/cry.gif

Good to know Cindy....the turnaround time for loss of existing pitchers & growth of tips is quite fast yah ? just about 2 weeks.

Edmund, so soon?? http://s3.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif
Tarence, Cephs acclimatise quite quickly if they are happy with the conditions. The only issue is that the large pitchers are all gone and most people think that it is a difficult species. The loss is natural as it is being sent bareroot. Just like losing the Nep pitchers after they arrive, but the Nep leaves stay intact so they don't look so botak (bare).

btw, what do cephalotus flowers look like? Just thought about how I've never seen or heard of ceph flowers before. I'm assuming it's very difficult to induce them to flower. « Last Edit: Jun 6, 2008, 10:03am by marigoldsfail21 »Link to Post - Back to Top http://s3.images.proboards.com/ip.gif Logged cindy

It is common to lose some of the smaller ones, not that many so I wouldn't worry too much.
