I've had my two Cephs for quite some time now. One of them I've had for about 6 months and the other I've had since October. I use the tray method to water them and they seem to be doing fine so far, putting out pitchers and everything.
My concern is that even though my plants have been doing fine, I may be keeping too much water in their trays which could eventually lead to the all-too-well-known Ceph root rot (I think it's referred to as the Sudden Cephalotus Death Syndrome over at the UK CP forum). The trays aren't too deep and I keep about an inch of water in there. I wait until it evaporates, wait another day, then put more water in. Do you all think this is fine for watering Cephs?
I really love my Cephs (so much so that I'm getting another in the mail today or tomorrow - Whoo hoo!) and I want to make sure that they continue growing well and that they stay happy.
