so far so good lol. there was a "mishap" with some leaves that fell off that actually was due to the humidity being too low (guess that happens when they get stressed from shipping, root disturbance, low humidity, etc.) and the plant didn't like it (found this out after talking to someone who's been growing these for years). since I've upped the humidity (I mist the inside of the cover) they are actually growing faster and the two largest pitchers that were closed are now opening up. here's some pics (not sure why the plants look yellowish lol. they really aren't in real-time):

the humidity "chamber" lol...thanks DQ:

the Cephs as of today:

these are the pitchers that have been closed tight since I received them:

thanks for looking!!

Thanks!!! And it's only getting watered like every 3 days so it doesn't stay soaking wet. I know that goes against what people say about watering Cephs, but it seems to be working

*fingers crossed* lol...

3 days is a good number, allowing it to dry in between is okay. Cephalotus seems to be vary adaptable to a lot of conditions by the looks of it. That's the thing just keep tending to that plant and it's needs your doing a great job. Keep us updated because most of us on here enjoy looking at it!
