Really think this species is underrepresented on the forum. This ain’t the place for argonauts and squids, but all Cephalotus pictures welcomed! Let us see your ceph!

Heres a ceph seedling time photo to kick start:

Very nice! How long did it take from photo one to the last photo?

It took around 10 months with the encouragement of 2-3 osmocote at base.

What kind of moss is that?

That’s what you would call a mix of star moss, sporophytes, & grass.

Yes and almost impossible to get rid of once they get comfortable in one of the pots lol

Hmm guess cephalotus not that popular compare to other pitcher plants and this might become just another journal lol. Anyway heres a BE Clone and Eden Black with moss removed. BE clone was light deprived resulting much slower growth rate.

Nice, keep the pictures coming!

Well here's an unusual story. . I did a way overdue re- pot today. And to my surprise this was buried deep below the surface. I mean really deep in the pot . No light whatsoever hopefully it survives. But I know my cephalotus is going to be quite angry and p***ed off at me for a while now Here's the mother plant too.

That mother plant is absolutely gorgeous! Is that a specific clone? The off shoot underground looks very interesting and reminds me of N.Pudica, although she prob didn’t intend for the baby to be there lol. It should make it look how tiny mine was!

The mother plant is the first cephalotus I ever bought. It's only known as purple/ black. I don't believe it ever was a registered cultivar
