Hi everyone wanted to know if I can grow my cephalotus in only long fibered sphagnum moss. My other mix is long fibered with bark and pumice but it is for nepenthes and not sure if I can use it with cepholatus. Any help would appreciated a lot. Thank you for your help

No.

There are growers that use lfs to grow cephalotus.

Hey Cylpol,

Yes, lfsm can be used. For more reference of other people using them, this is a link to terra forums:

Is there a scientific reason backed up with evidence of why you say, "No?"

I just think that growing an Australian cliff loving pitcher plant in North American bog moss is a good idea

Predatory Plants uses LFSM for their cephs. Here's one of their videos on propagation that shows them using it:
