So at least twice a week I check all over eBay and Carnivorous plant sites for a Cephalotus to purchase. I never have any luck either out of stock or they bid way past my price range. Well last night I was super discouraged after months and months of trying and bid on 2 different plant. Well I woke up to see that I won BOTH bids! Lol I'm so exited to finally get the chance to try out this amazing plant! Any and all advice will be appreciated. :] My attitude towards my plants are they have evolved to live, grow and survive and I'm just here to help them out and enjoy their beauty. I grow everthing outside on a grow rack after 1 week of adjusting indoors by the window. New plants and seedlings get the "shadiest" spot until I see they have adjusted then moved accordingly. I grow all my orchids, flytraps and succulents on this rack. I have attached pictures of the plants I have won.

I went through his reviews to make sure it was legit, I always missed out on them. He has some beautiful plants for auction all the time. It sort of looks like there is an extra in one pot, my fingers are crossed but I'm going to let them adjust and grow before trying any dividing.

I have about 6 of fingers cephalotus. He has amazing plants, and always good with communication. You will not be disappointed, I assure you.

They've arrived! I'm so happy! I've never seen such awesome packaging. I've attached pictures so you all can see, I'd recommend fingers001 on EBay to anyone looking to puchase a Cephalotus. I have them on a windowsill covered in a sandwich bag at the moment to acclimate over the next week.

A picture I didn't get was a napkin covering the top of each and taped down very well, to keep the layer of sphagnum and Cephs in place. Also the sphagnum wasn't live obviously but it is high quality stuff.
