wow Cindy......your cephs are colouring up superbly....
as for me, i love cephs coz they are compact, slow growing ( so that i can enjoy them for a longer time ), gorgeous & very cute.

I don't understand why they are colouring up lately...interestingly, many of the pitchers are colouring up and the weather is getting hotter. The plants are under T5 lights and have produced green pitchers with red teeth so far and suddenly within the same week, pitchers from different plants started turning red. Really weird...

More poison...  13 days later...notice that the pitcher at the bottom right hand corner is now fully developed and open. With flash  Without flash  |

Terence, the pitcher in the photo is from rhizome cutting that I got December last year...the cutting about 2cm long and 4mm thick. It only had two leaves. Don't be deceived by the pitchers in the background...they belong to other plants. Btw, how are your Cephs doing?  |

my ceph ( singular, heheh ) is doing fine. the pitchers are getting bigger & i do notice some colour.
i`m more keen in getting the offshoots to survive as the main plant looks pretty much as steady as they come ( statement made based on the limited experience i have with cephs, retractable when/ if challenged )

Good work. Just keep watch as the temperature goes up. My experience with them during the hot months are like yours...limited...this is the first time I have older plants with me.

thx for the reminder.....it is getting really hot nowadays & perhaps it is better to move my ceph to the part of the garden which has grass i/o leaving it in the cemented area.

Cemented area?!?  Please move the ceph away, Tarence. The rhizome will rot if the root region gets too hot.  That is one reason why I change to ceramic pots...to keep them cool. |

What is the difference between nepenthes and cep?  |

Post by tarence on May 22, 2008 12:24:31 GMT 8
it`s 2 different types of carnivorous plants. the differences would also include leaf, pitcher structure, growing conditions.....
basically :
nepenthes almost always have your basic leaf structure, a tendril formation ( long, short ) at the end of which leads to a pitcher.
cephalotus forms pitchers directly from the plant itself. their leaves if any, are also without pitchers.
they also look quite different. hope it helps.
