awesome ceph!

Re: Cephalotus follicularis, MUAHAHAHA........
 

You might want to transplant to peat and sand mix. I transplanted mine and found that the ceph were grown in a peat ball. Then the nursery just place that in a biger pot with sphagnum moss. The roots did not grow into the sphagum moss. I think they do not like it. Just remove the sphagnum moss and place the whole root ball together with the peat in a bigger pot and fill up with peat + sand mix.

After mine was repotted it seem to grow row faster by giving me a few new leave.

David, I can't find peat moss in any of the nurseries. All they have is sphagnum moss. They won't even know what peat moss is......and I don't trust the sand that they sell.

Thanks everyone for the comments!!:1thumbup:

Cheers

If you want I have 1-2 extra packets of peat moss at home. It is horti brand and I use it for all my Drosera and Cephs. The quality is good. I got it from Ace Hardware shop, in the plant/garden section. If you just want to pick it up from me, let me know. My office is next to a shopping complex that has Ace Hardware store. So I can get it anytime I want.

Couple suggestion on Ceph cultivation. Keep the roots cool. This plant is best in a shade house in bright light (50% shade cloth is good).
ACPS has one member who grow his Ceph outdoors in relativity sheltered conditions, he does live up in the lower hills of the Mt. Lofty Ranges.

hi, guys, thanks for the advice.......I am treating this ceph the best i can

Khoas, i spray mist my ceph with ice water morning and night. The soil is rather wet so i am going to let it be first. I grow in my house near the sliding door of my balcony and the light it receives is rather bright, but not a hit of sunlight at all.

David, thanks for the offer, I will go through the details through PM.

This ceph is the second most precious plant of mine, my most precious plant is........a secret.:tongue::tongue:

Cheers
