One of my cold Cephalotus greenhouses

Hope you enjoy!



This is one of my "Dudley Watts" clone, the biggest pitcher is about 6,5 cm

Hi Dadetave,
Your cephs are amazing. 6.5cm is huge, the biggest ones we got from our local nursery was only about 3cm at most.

so this is a greenhouse with a chiller & it`s own internal lighting ? does fresh air circulate ?

Hi Tarence,
thanks for your compliments!
Yes, these pitchers are so big because this isn't a typical cephalotus, this is a "Dudley Watts" clone, well known for its dimensions, I hope that in the next spring they reach dimensions of 8 cm.
At the moment these plants grow under a CFL lamp with 6400°K for at least 11 hours/day.
Yes, fresh air can circulate free, temperature is in the range 10/22°C (but will decrease during the next three months to 5/12°C....... and the humidity level permanently is about 70/75%

Dadetave,

I have to fish out my ruler to see how long 8cm is. Wow! Yeah i know abt the larger ceph clones but I`ve never tried coz even the normal ones don`t exactly flourish here. )

tropical climate + cephs aren`t good buddies. heheh.

how do you get fresh air to circulate ? there isn`t a door to the chiller ?
