Yep, I have used those flourescent lights before, I use them for my blue tongue lizard, but not on plants, because I think they feel abit too hot for comfort, much more costly than the normal energy saving daylight bulb and they are not so bright compared to those light bulbs.

Repot them with sand and peat, ratio 1:1. If you cant find lapis sand, then perlite will also do the job. While repotting, you can splite the cephs too, i am sure there are atleast more then 5 growing points from the look of the plant.

Ok thanks Delwin. So, basically T5 bulbs come in 5/8 inch size? One thing I noticed about them is that they tend to dim over a short period of time (or by constant daily use of 14-16 hours), hence need to put multiple tubes using bigger deflectors I suppose?
I think my Ceph has four growing points. I have a big bag of perlite and vermiculite so I suppose I could use that. Since I have two pots of few growth points each I think I will try two to three on a different type of media and see how they acclimatise.
