Some Pics Of Cephs To Share
Nothing spectacular but just wanted to show the rate of growth over 4 months.
 November 2008 I imported some Cephs with one-inch rhizomes for sale. Here is one example in a thumbpot.  March 2008 I kept several plants in the thumbpots for myself. These now need to be further repotted into 5" pots from their 3" pots. Plant 1  Roots are appearing from the base of the 3" pots.  The plants are forming adult pithers.  Plant 2   Plant 3

Re: Some Pics Of Cephs To Share
This cutting had a rhizome about 1.5" long last November.
 How it looks like now. The largest pitcher is 4cm (>1.5") tall.  A pic of a potential prey.

Re: Some Pics Of Cephs To Share
Wow!! Nice cephs!! BTW whats the best treatment to revive dead cephs. My ceph is producing an offshoot from its root after getting murdered by some stupid mealybugs. I want that offshoot to stay alive.

Re: Some Pics Of Cephs To Share
Aaron,
It depends on how your media is like. Try not to keep it too wet because the remaining rhizome tends to rot off soon after the application of insecticide. TS, The plants (1-3) are under T5 lights. The one with all large pitchers are at my balcony which faces North-west. From November till now, there is only bright but indirect sunlight. That is also the reason why the pitchers are not showing very much colour. Temperature ranges from 25C to 34C. Airconditioning will easily bring this particular clone's pitchers to at least 2".

nickjamie,
LSM can be grown easily under full sun in marsh/wet conditions. The ones you see in the photo is grown at the balcony in a covered pot. I also have them growing in covered disposble plastic containers.

How you managed to grow them so big, Cindy? Did you grow them outdoor or in aircond room?
