Tim A Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Here's an update on my 2 year old cephalotus. The first photo was taken in March 06, when I repotted them at about 1 year old. I set them too close together and it was extremely difficult to separate them without snapping a few roots, but most survived. At the bottom of this photo there is a tiny runner. This one is much pinker than it appears in the photo, but it's extremely slow growing. The first adult shape pitcher. Lastly a photo of the seed parent.

Jimmie Hansen Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Lovely little buggers. I have seven cephs at that size and they are about 6 months old. I didnt sow them from seeds tho. I took leaf pullings. But it took about 3 months before I saw any signs of plants. But congratulations! I would never have the patience to grow them from seeds.

Kiwi Earl Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Really nice, Tim. And the shots show them to good advantage, too - very visually descriptive. Question: Std form or Large form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pÃtcheur Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 you needed only one parent?? Yes, they are self fertile. but not every clone or every? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim A Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Earl, The seeds are from a standard size plant, it will be interesting to see if there are any size variations in the seedlings. pÃtcheur, I would say every clone is self fertile, but there are always exceptions.

AndrewLuton Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Just wondering if anyone else has left their Cephs outside like I have this year? Poor little blighters are frozen solid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim A Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 They should be ok, unless they are kept very wet. My plants are all in an unheated greenhouse, temp dropped to -3 C yesterday. I'll only bring them indoors if a severe frost is forecast.
