Noticing just how much a 4" raise closer to the lights really impacts the plants.......
i would always get pitchers that were primarily green with dark teeth and red splotches, and the pitchers it came with back in June when i got it were a nice crimson red....
so i just propped them ontop of the bottom of an empty pot, which raised them about 3 1/2 - 4" and its made a huge difference....
now that i have found the sweet spot for growing them in my collection, i feel a bit more comfortable experimenting with them, and have had several leaf pullings strike in the last few days after only being pulled for a few weeks now....
Here are some before and after shots of the cephalotus i am referring to though...
here it was back on the 28th of October...mostly greens with hints of red...
and now
