Heres My Ceph Before Repotting:
Ceph Bareroot:
Ceph Repotted:
The sand also helps to prevent the Perlite from rising to the top when watering (On top of inhibiting moss growth).
I don't really want to get into the fertilizer debate with CPs as some growers strongly disagree with it, but I have used a very dilute foliar fertilizer on Cephalotus which I put directly into the pitcher using a pipette, not on the compost. Fertilizer can damage the roots and tends to build up in the compost.I don't mind it but it has been steadily creeping into the cephalotus. I looked at the ceph just now, theres maybe 3 pitchers still visible.
The moss is growing realy well cause I'm fertilizing the pot. The moss wasnt doing much at all before I started fertilizing. Lol... my ceph isnt benefitting from any fertilizer, cause the moss eats all!
