Default Re: Potting medium for cephalotus !!

Different mixes work for different people. I grow my Cephalotus in pure sphagnum moss but many people wouldn't even consider doing this. It just works for me. The common mix is 50:50 peat moss and sand. It is generally thought that Cephalotus prefer a well drained mix and that they are susceptible to root rot in wet/waterlogged conditions. You will need to ensure that the mix you use is low in nutrients and does not contain a high salt content.
