Obviously the winds were higher than I expected. Went outside to take in the plants and the cheap plastic greenhouse has fallen over in the strong winds. I've tried to repot most but I've lost the drosera and maybe the fly trap. I'll see if I can put them in the shed, but it doesn't get any sunlight so I might just keep them inside even if it is 20 degrees. I will buy another one as the old now has holes in it... I don't know how it fell as it was stuck in a corner and pegged down!

Just bought another greenhouse and set it up. Looks stronger and it's anchored to the floor so tightly that even a hurricane would have a hard time taking it down. Got 7 new plants as well, anyone have any tips on how to look after cephalotus? Humidity and sunlight requirements as it's my first time growing one.
Thanks

I have a greenhouse, and it gets bungee-corded to the front porch railing lol. it's stayed there during 80+ mph winds and such lol. and this is my first time growing Cephs as well lol, but this is what I've found: don't keep them too wet, mainly bottom-water with an occasional top water for flushing, lots of light, respect their cold rest period, and if the pitchers start closing then you need to adjust their humidity. and if you're careful during a repot they don't really have any issues. here's a couple of pics of my Cephs :)

They look good! I'm going to repot into peat and perlite as the person who sold it to me kept it in pure peat, I heard they need a lot of draining capabilities so that they don't get root rot and die. In my greenhouse it's around 65% Humidity which I think is good, they'll be kept at around 15 degrees at day right now and a lot lower at night so that should be good for their cold period.
