My cephalotus' new growth seems to just be going brown, I'll link a picture here. Also, the lids are shut for some reason...
My Humidity is over 70%, kept in a greenhouse in the UK at around 8-20 Celsius, depending on the day. At night it reaches around 2 degrees.

Just repotted it into peat and perlite as the seller only had it in peat.

Shut lids means it's dehydrated. Give it lots of water.

When you repotted the rhizome and roots looked healthy?

I give it a lot of water, not wet though.

There was only a couple short roots which I found quite odd, maybe the seller didn't look after it properly. I didn't have a chance to check the rhizome.

That's probably an indication that it's a fairly recent division, still developing roots of its own. I received one myself last year with no roots at all it was so fresh, but it didn't seem to mind.

I was thinking about that, however the seller said it was not a recent division. I'll just have to see how it goes after the repot.
