Cephalotus Follicularis “Diflora Giant” (Big boy x Coal mine beach)

• At Cultivo, every release is carefully selected and grown with purpose. We don’t mass restock - most plants are small-batch, seasonal or one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” pieces. Once they’re sold, they’re truly gone. That’s why you won’t see a typical “email me when available” option on these listings
• Some seasonal items or small-batch variants may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details

• 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 the exact plant pictured:  a medium sized plant with spring leaves transitioning to adult picthers, potted in an Hex Deco pot with clip on water tray

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
