Carlos Rohrbacher Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Hi people, This is my new aquisition, a adult Cephalotus follicularis, it’s a old dream. Marcos Ono send me a big plant, and I repotting in last year (27/12/08). The original substrate is 70% xaxim fiber, 20% vermiculite and 10% sphagnum. I added (new substrate) 30% dried sphagnum moss, 10% live sphagnum moss, 20% quartz sand, 20% peat and 20% perlite. This is a ceph in new 'home' Regards. Carlos.

mobile Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Nice looking Cephalotus. It certainly shouldn't need repotting for a while, given the size of pot that it's now in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Rivadavia Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hello Carlos, "Xaxim" is called fern fiber in English. It's not commonly used for CPs outside of Brazil. Too bad it's not easily produced, since it's great stuff to grow CPs on! Congrats on the plant, Fernando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Rohrbacher Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi Fernando, thanks for added a new word in my poor english, i saw 'fern' in website but my corrector on line don´t help. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
