Thought I'd post an update, a few months after the first post I lost one of the 3 on the wall. It just collasped for no good reason. It has not regrown and with so much humidity and moisture there is not much left of the plant anymore, so it is a complete loss.
The other two have atleast doubled in size since the last picture. I can't say anything for the long term success of this but its working ok for me in the short term, your mileage will probably vary.
I'm growing another
Cephalotus on a piece of driftwood more successfully here
http://www.orchidboard.com/communit...dd-little-vivarium-project-micro-minis-3.html The
Cephalotus was added as an after thought, one of those...were do I put this piece things. Should be updating that thread today with a better
Cephalotus picture, not that the orchid people care about that
. That
Cephalotus is approx. 2" from 2 T5HO bulbs and just sitting on a piece of driftwood, its gets all its water from the wicking of the driftwood. That piece is not as wet and that
Cephalotus seems to like that amount of water much better, although to be fair the original division was much larger and that may have alot more to do with it, and it gets ALOT more light, less humidity, hotter temps.
If you look closely to the right you can see some
Utricularia graminifolia with a few bladders
. Silly plant, always has to be in the picture.
