Albany Pitcher Plant ‘Wilhelma Clone’ • Rare Australian Cephalotus with Large Traps (Multi-crown Specimen)

Cephalotus follicularis ‘Wilhelma Clone’ • The Aussie Beast with Boxing Glove Traps

One of the most impressive forms of Cephalotus around – with larger-than-average traps and deep red colouration, the Wilhelma clone is a must-have for serious collectors.

Native to a tiny stretch of coastline in Western Australia, Cephalotus follicularis is a compact, slow-growing carnivore that produces two types of leaves: flat, non-carnivorous spring leaves, followed by thick, toothy summer pitchers that look like little boxing gloves. This Wilhelma clone, originally cultivated and stabilised by the Wilhelma Botanical Garden in Germany, takes it to the next level – with chunkier traps, intense colouring, and a neat, compact growth habit.

What Makes the Wilhelma Clone So Special?

• Bigger pitchers: Produces larger-than-average traps compared to standard Cephs

• Brilliant colouration: Pitchers develop deep red tones under strong light, with striped peristomes and bold contrast

• Compact & consistent: Forms tight rosettes with excellent trap production

• Terrarium superstar: Performs beautifully in high-humidity setups like terrariums and paludariums with stable conditions

• Tried and tested: This clone is stable, vigorous, and more predictable than many other Cephalotus types

Growing Tips for Cephalotus (Wilhelma Clone)

• Light: Terrarium or paludarium with full spectrum LED or a bright windowsill (4–6 hours direct sun or supplemental grow light recommended)

• Water: Top-water only; excellent drainage is crucial

• Humidity: Moderate to high; ensure airflow to prevent mildew

• Dormancy: A cool winter rest indoors (15–20°C) is enough

• Repotting: Only when necessary – avoid disturbing the roots

• Feeding: No need to feed, but it may catch small prey outdoors

• Because Cultivo is a boutique-style store, most of our collector’s plants are one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” or limited seasonal releases. That means once they’re sold, they’re gone - so standard restock notifications aren’t practical here
• A few seasonal plants or variants of small-batch releases may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
