Description
Description
- Many growers regard Cephalotus Follicularis, also known as the Australian pitcher plant, as the crown jewel of their collection
- This fascinating plant is extremely slow growing and produces two types of leaves - non-carnivorous leaves are produced during springtime followed by the toothy-peristome pitchers that resembles a boxing glove in summer
- As a native to a small stretch of coast in Western Australia, it can be grown outdoors in very mild regions of South Africa throughout the year, we recommend a sunny windowsill with 4-6 hours direct sunlight at the very least
- Albany pitcher plants prefer fairly stable conditions and can be quite finicky - we recommend these for the more experienced carnivorous plant enthusiast
- In this limited offer, you'll receive one of the exact plants pictured
Care
- Growing Cephalotus:
- Cephalotus generally grows very slowly and can be a bit temperamental
- They are excellent candidates for windowsill growing with a couple of hours morning sun. If grown outside, they can tolerate high daytime temperatures (up to 35°C) as long as they experience cool nights
- Be careful about disturbing and/or overheating the roots (Repotting is not recommended)
- Proper drainage is very important: Water via the soil and let the water run through, try not to get the leaves/pitchers wet. Ensure proper ventilation to deter powdery mildew
- If watering via the tray method, let the tray dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot - keep the soil only damp to the touch
- Although this plant is technically a warm temperate perennial (requires a short winter dormancy), it adapts well to indoor/windowsill growing. In winter, cool house temperatures of 15°-20°C and short daylight hours are enough to give this plant a short winter rest
- Due to their finicky nature, Cephalotus Follicularis is recommended for the more experienced carnivorous plant grower
