Cephalotus for fathers day

Hi all

My wife got me a ceph for Fathers Day, also a bunch of Pitcher rhinzomes Flava, Minor,Alta,some Hybrid pitchers.. Now for the trick.. The ceph is about as big as a large THumb Nail...Tiny Pitchers growing about a little less than quarter. I have it in shredded dried spagnum moss very damp but not soaking. Any advice wouild be helpfull

THanks

Here's my tip: Thank your wife profusely!
 
Hey Tim, depending on your location, heat will be your worst enemy right now. For those little TC cephs, try to keep it very humid, with bright light but no direct sun. I have good luck putting the whole pot in a big ziploc bag. be carful if you do this, any amount of sun will heat that bag up in a hurry. this method is better under lights. Good luck!
