i was watering cephs, very young small one, every other days. i'll let it sit on a tray for couple of hours and remove them. then i didn't water it for 3 days now. i didn't want the root to have any problem. the lids are not fully open, but otherwise the pitcher looks fine.
i know some folks leave their cephs sit on a tray all the time, when the try goes dry, they will leave it for a day or two and fill it again.
how often and how much water to ceph is good? i keep hearing that too much water is not good, but by letting it not sit on the water does that help? i'm not sure how well the soil that i have in the container will retain water or how fast it will drain. it's 1:1:1 peat, sand, and sphagnum moss. i would think peat and s.moss will hold water for awhile. when i lift the container, it's rather heavy, but then again, it has sand in it.
