Hello:
I am new to Cephalotus. I read that Cephalotus need a periodic drying. What is periodic drying? Is that letting the tray dry once a week - twice a month - or what? How long should this drying last?
Any additional information will be greatly appreciated.

Drying all depends on the medium. I use stuff that quickly drains so let my plants sit in water with them hardly drying out ever. It's all depends on conditions as well in my opinion.

Read what Nauz said carefully, its very well put. It really changes depending on your conditions.

Exactly

I do wanna note I will change the water in the tray depending on what it looks like etc. if your using pure sphagnum you might not have to use a tray. Pure peat as well, they retain a good amount of water.
