Default Re: Ask a question about Cephalotus.

Cephalotus does not like waterlogged soil. Media must be damp, but not waterlogged, otherwise the roots will rot. The more light, the more colour, but the pitchers grow smaller. If you can provide a cool environment in the night, then cephalotus will grow bigger and mature pitchers more faster.

Basically speaking:

Bigger pitchers:-less sunlight and more cooling environment, about 20-22 celsius

More colourful pitchers:-more sunlight but pitchers will be smaller

Most importantly is letting the cephalotus acclimatise. I am trying to let mine adapt to my environment now.

Cheers
