Dude, that's a lot of cephs. Did you get most of them recently?
Man I am envious of all your cephs.. They all look great!
no one should have that many cephs lol
Truncata is growing like a champ. Can't wait to see it fully formed.
Oh you have sumatrana seedlings. That's a plant I'd love to have. The pitchers are so big and fat. Very cool you sprouted some.
Interesting... I've never seen U. nelumbifolia or reniformis grown in such a peaty, dense mix.
That viscarla is looking great though.
It's actually really chunky under the surface. A lot of orchid bark, charcoal, and what have you..
I believe Bob recommended, but we all know how my memory is:
U. nelumbifolia ~ boggy sand & peat, just like I have it.
U. reniformis ~ fluffy live LFS type dilly.
I didn't know their preferred media at first when I stuck them into this mini bog. But by the time I had a direction on their growing conditions, they had already broken the surface with new growth. So I said screw it and left em'. They seem happy enough..
U. nelumbifolia dwells in bromeliads as does U. humboldtii (but not exclusively). U. reniformis supposedly rarely lives there but somehow that 'rumor' has spread & won't die. I tried to find the Fernando semi-rant about this on CPUK but gave up when I located this thread, which has both fantastic pics & a statement about where U. reniformis is usually found (2nd post).I believe both those species live in bromeliads in situ- quite a different substrate.

I'll send you the Charles Ceph today Mass.
