My ceph seem to be drying up. Don't appear to be rotting. Could it be they are to hot?

P.s. The soil looks wet because I just watered it.

Yea it is drying, bag it or put a plastic cup over it to acclimate it

Is it sitting in water or no?

No sir. I do use the tray method. However, it never sets in water long than a few hours. This is by the week, of course. I honestly should have noticed the cause of the damage long ago, but in my panic, I couldn't come up with the solution to my problem on my own. Thankfully, benastyy, brought level headed thinking back to me. I fully trust him as I have been following his threads for some time. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to cephalotus. My ceph do seem to be recovering. Might have lost a pitcher or two but it should recover just fine. My other cephalotus seem to be doing fine as well. I recently have gotten my first adult pitcher.

Also, nauz. No discredit to you. It's just as soon as I saw benastyy's reply, I instantly knew that was my problem.

Yes humidity is important when getting new plants. It helps with recovery, I would still put an pan or something to catch water below it. When it drys up you put some more in.

Hello friends. I just wanted to give an update on my situation. Sadly, I have lost a few ceph to the damage. The OP photo not being one of them. I all other seem to be doing just fine. I managed to get a Hummer's giant a few days ago.

Grats on getting a hummers. Bag it up to acclimate it maybe throw it in a pan with some water then bag it + light = happy cephalotus.

Already have. Thanks for the advice nauz.

You got it the plant will eventually put out a lot of growth since its spring going to summer and you'll post some nice pictures.

Hey guys, wanted to give a fast update. My cephalotus are putting out new growth. Still keeping them covered just till I feel good about them. Also, my hummers giant seems to be happy.
