one or two pitchers yellowing is okay due to the climate change. after bringing down my cephs from camerons, a few pitchers turn yellow.

it is warmer here than in camerons. if you dont see any white powdery stuff on the leaves of the cephalotus then the cephalotus should be just fine

the white powdery stuff is powdery mildew.

Generally any plants from CH should avoid direct sun straight away, we shall let it acclimatise to the high temperature in the low land. Your ceph looked very much like getting stress from the change of growing condition. Keep it in shady place first, then slowly introduce to more sunlight, see if this helps.
I don't mean ceph doesn't like direct sunlight, but just that it need some adaptation. Mine getting direct morning sunlight for few hours.
Good luck

My cephs are like this too but I don't care as long as new traps are coming out.

nowpe, no fungus

well, one to two hours of direct sunlight is okay. the cephs actually love sun, but the trick is not to let the roots get hot. the roots hate any changes in environment. so, its a hard game to play - giving it as much light as possible but not heating up the pot/roots. hope this helps

thanks

Nigel (malowie), good. I can see that you are learning very quickly from the advice given to you.

Just to add on to what is being said, precisely because the species dislike heat at the root region, many growers with intermediate or highland conditions are more successful with them outdoors. For tropical growers without the night temperature drop, overpotting helps.
