Well...:crying:I think its not healthy or may have a fungul infection.

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?

How is the plant looks like when I reach yours place? Where you keep it?

ummm....so is it infection by fungus or climate change?
Casey,i put it on my back yard.under shade, but during morning is quite hot because it will get direct sunlight.

Should i put it somewhere to avoid the direct sunlight?just put there when night because is quite cold when night time

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

Generally any plants from CH should avoid direct sun straight away, we shall let it acclimatise to the high temperature in the low land. Your ceph looked very much like getting stress from the change of growing condition. Keep it in shady place first, then slowly introduce to more sunlight, see if this helps.
I don't mean ceph doesn't like direct sunlight, but just that it need some adaptation. Mine getting direct morning sunlight for few hours. :laugh:
Good luck :1thumbup:

My cephs are like this too but I don't care as long as new traps are coming out.

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

nowpe, no fungus :2thumbup:

well, one to two hours of direct sunlight is okay. the cephs actually love sun, but the trick is not to let the roots get hot. the roots hate any changes in environment. so, its a hard game to play - giving it as much light as possible but not heating up the pot/roots. hope this helps

thanks

What is the red string on the second pic?And which nursery in Cameron you get it from?I only saw neps in all the nurseries.

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

Nigel (malowie), good. I can see that you are learning very quickly from the advice given to you. :1thumbup:

Just to add on to what is being said, precisely because the species dislike heat at the root region, many growers with intermediate or highland conditions are more successful with them outdoors. For tropical growers without the night temperature drop, overpotting helps.

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

its something coming out from the moss. nothing do to with the ceph.l. btw, its not a thread :2thumbup:

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

haha thanks again to you! if it was not for your advice my ceph wouldve diedlah...

btw, i repotted one of my cephs.. thanks to me putting it under the sun, half of it shrivelled up. the pitchers i mean. i put it out in the morning thinking ill remember to bringing it back in after two hours. but no, i went out and totally forgot abt it.. i really hope it survives.. :2thumbup:

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

My cephs are fine now, after repotting and horrible loses of pitchers, it is surviving and pitchering well for me. That is drying pitchers.

Cheers

My new leaves are reddish. Why? Is it suppose to be red while its just 0.5 mm long?

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

i saw my ceph having some white powder thing on it leaves and few pitcher too! what should i do?

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

Thats mildew. My ceph just got infected.What to do? What to do?

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

Hi there,

I had reply you in phone and sms.

If yours plant is attack by FAUNA. What you can do is. Get a transparent plastic beg, put yours ceph in to it. Try to push out air from the beg as much as you can.

Inject CO2 that used for planted tank into the plastic beg. Then, place it in a bright place for few hours.

Please do it at morning or afternoon, but not at night!!! Because, yours plants need Oxigen at night!!!! Hope it will help.

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

Casey, that's a brilliant idea! By cutting out the O2,it will kill the pest! I have to get myself a CO2 unit then.

Re: help my Cephalotus ,is it attack by fungus or anything?
 

Learn it from taiwan forumer and edmund.

To save CO2. Did the above CO2 treatment with bare root plant.

Im also new to the growing cephalotus, when i first got mine a few pitchers yellowed up and died. A month later it has new growth, not a whole lot but for a month its enough for reassurance that my ceph is going good :)
Im assuming it was just adjusting to the climate in my area, I keep mine outside just sitting in a bit of water on our outside table setting. Not in direct sunlight but in the morning cool sunlight hits it for about an hour or two. I live in western australia so it hits 40 degree days sometimes but it tolerates it being outside and shaded with that morning sun.

If there is one thing i have learned its to not get caught up with the excitement of getting a ceph, just leave it for a couple of months so it can adjust and your good to go :)
