Tannerm thanks for entering, I might put a plant up for sale soon but it will be a typical. Unfortunately nothing able to giveaway just yet but I'll put another one up when it becomes available.

Congratulations Shadowtski!

And thanks for the awesome giveaway Nauz! Super generous of ya'!

Plant arrived today in good condition. Wonderful packing job!

Couple of quick questions: I want to minimize acclimation shock.

Medium looks like 100% coarse silica sand or aquarium substrate, is it?
Do you top water or tray water?
How often do you MaxSea feed? (1/4 tsp /gallon?)
What sort of light is it used to?

Thanks for the giveaway!

Although this isn't my plant I grow a lot of cephs, and I fertilize them about once or twice a month

Thank you, medium is 1:1 peat/silica sand (med grade) dressing is coarse silica sand ontop. I top water maybe 1 time a month to clean plant. I have a bucket I fill water up with to the same level as the top dressing and let sit for 5-10mins then place back into its tray where I keep water at 1/4 the size of the pot. I am still experimenting with maxsea so I can't for sure say what I'm using is good yet.

Ps sent this in a PM not sure if you got it since you posted in here mike.

Here's an update on this giveaway. It's been about a month and a half.

I won this Cephalotus and my plant arrived on July 28th.

I put it outside in a sheltered location. It got bright light, but not much direct sunlight. It is growing nicely. It seems to like my growing conditions.

Here are a couple pictures I took today. Sorry about the mediocre quality.

New growth is healthy and each new pitcher is larger than the previous one/

Notice how wide the frontal ridge is on the latest pitcher.

Thanks again to Nauz for a great giveaway!

Can't wait for that new pitcher to inflate. Other then that the plant looks really healthy. I've got a hummers giant outside on patio that gets about 6 hours of direct sunlight and doesn't grow that fast.

Looks like a mature pitcher!

This would be wonderful if you pay forward this way?i really would want to grow one

When my Ceph from Nauz is big enough, I will definitely propagate it from a cutting and run my own Cephalotus giveaway. For now, I'm paying it forward by sponsoring seed giveaways. Currently, I have a Drosera capensis "Wide Leaf" free seed giveaway going on. Next week I will be starting a Drosera intermedia free seed giveaway.

Good growing,
Mike

I might have a coal mine beach cephalotus giveaway coming up soon so keep your eyes out and it will follow same rules as this giveaway.
