Looks like there's are nice mature pitcher growing

So i guess this will be my one week update on the cephs thanks to all of you for your help and patience with me on these wonderful plants. Its been touch and go with a couple from the begining but inspite of my ill preparedness i think they may be trying to bounce back. thanks guys and gals.

First 3 photos they look bad, 4th pic the plant looks good. And the last set of pictures the plant looks hardy man. That last plant looks good who ever did that one does good plants.

You know who grew the last two or you should seeing as how its one of yours Nauz. The pics are not clear enough to see well,but all of them are puting on new pitcher's and non carnivorous leaves so do i follow the same rule as other C.P.'s if i have new make a hole in the plastic no new growth no hole a?

For acclimation? Yeah I believe over time you slowly introduce the plant by slightly opening up ever week or more I believe.

Ok guys my great white finally made it to me. So now for the questions do i follow the directions, or is there a different dose i need to use. Thanks in advance.

1 Gallon: 1/2 tsp

But for your first time I might sprinkle a bit on the soil and then spray a bit water to push it down into the soil. Use the 1 gallon mix every month just to flood the medium and that will refresh the culture in the soil. Most people also use great white for cuttings and stuff too, you can also use the same gallon mix on your other cp soils. Now when I say gallon I don't mean 1 gallon per plant but just enough to soak it. Maybe even a little flood but not enough to drown the plant.

Thanks man im glad it finally got here.I ordered it 3 weeks ago, and it sat in Kansas for 2 weeks at a dead stand, not the sellers fault usps lost it for 2 weeks. Thank you all for being patient with me and answering all of my questions.

As far as I'm concerned that's a good update.
Am sorry you lost the little ones though. It's not easy even for those that have experience with tiny ceph's to keep them going after being stressed from shipping and moved to a new environment. Your learning though and that's what counts!

Thanks. But i had expected to lose a few thats why i got the ones i did at first it came out to about $ 2.50us a plant on that one so not like killing a 200.00 mature cultivator. I just hope i can keep them inproving and not let them get in that shape ever again.

How's the plants doing yimmy

They seem to be ok man i dosed them with Great white just a sprinkle and a spritz so next on the list is to feed them doing research on the proper food as i speak. Hope all is well and happy thanks giveing to all
