only buy from either some one you know or some one recommended by another CP grower on here , as there are many rip off sellers out there just now, do not buy from China that for sure and take care on the Asain sellers too , many you dont get the seed what you have paid for!.

Like to start a world wide thread to inform every one not to buy CP or orchid seed from china, as most if not all are are fake , and even Ebay knows it and still will not do any thing about it, as they dont want to miss out on the fees I'm guessing , have told Ebay and proven to them that seed I bought was fake and still ebay refuse to ban these crooks . wounder why ?? obviously Ebay's mandate has changed !! So please inform every one you know not to buy seed of any type from china ,as you all ready seen from threads here and on forums all are fake , its about time some one put a stop

How can I coax a cephalotus into vigorous growth?
snapperhead51 replied to dcobbold's topic in Cephalotus
time , paients and feeding and good sun will help ,, takeing the plant out fully bare root it totally will slow things down possibale for a full season to several months , let it recover J -
yer think dont get to big first off, but for sure as they start to get adult size or put on 1st adult pitchers , it best to get much lager pots for sure, I just cut the old pot off and put the whole frim mix in to a much larger pot and back fill with new mix , and they just go on as usual no step back at all ,root are all most never disturbed at all john

Experimental growing Cephalotus in beach dune sand
snapperhead51 replied to mobile's topic in Cephalotus
just some clarifying information for this post , first off , only 1 cephalotus site is at a sea side site , that is Coal Mine beach site, all the rest are much further back inland and may be close at times to inland swamps/ soaks or land locked lakes ,with may be exception of a few but there still may be 1/2 a km from the actual sea shore . all sites are comprised of fine sand based soils as the whole area so far back in time were massive sand dunes and gradually getting plant compost added over the millions of years from trees, shrubs and grasses com
