Default Re: Cephalotus pics - rhizhomes and pitchers in hot weather

Mildew - Cephs kept in conditions of low light, too humid and stagnant air
Chemical burns - Cephs fried with overdose of what I deemed as safe fertiliser
Mealybugs and scales - Cephs with yellowing leaves which I ignored for several weeks
...all of which I have to admit is a lack of cultivation knowledge rather than the plant being fussy or difficult.
In bright indirect light and getting the afternoon heat of 33C, the largest pitcher to date is 1.25".





This pot of Cephs is worth watching as I push its limit to grow at the balcony, in year round lowland conditions.
