nice plants. i suggest you give your outdoor plants WAY more light. everything except the ping looks very light deprived. purp pitchers should be on the ground. not in the air. up the lighting and they should bounce back nicely. and for your ceph. after you see growth coming out of it i suggest you take off the the humidity dome. humidity and cephs for me has only proven useful with ceph cuttings. regular plants rot with too much humidity.
I took dry peat and broke it up (with no clods or anything) till it got to the consistency of sawdust. I then sprinkled it all over the top of the pot and allowed it to soak up the water from the soil below. This kept it nice and compact.
Yep. The pot sits in a saucer that's about 2 inches deep. Since this is indoors, I only need to water it once a month. Besides, I read Cephalotus hates constant waterlogged conditions, so allowing the saucer to dry out helps dry out the soil too.
Or better yet, put your cephalotus outdoors once the weather cools down. Cephalotus follicilaris likes cool nights like a highland nepenthes. Since you live in florida (zone 9 or 10), you don't have to worry about cold killing your cephalotus. They can take temps down to 32f. Right now, it is too hot to put your cephalotus outdoors. Put it outside in october or so and bring it back inside in the spring when night temperatures go over 65F.
I just ordered a Mexican Pinguicula, and once that arrives, I'll put the Cephalotus and Mexican Ping in the window. I have a south-facing window in my room, so that's where they'll go.
