djinnstah Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I'm planning on setting up a small terrarium for some Cephs. What species will grow well alongside Cephalotus? Heliamphora...Maybe some high-land nepenthes but i'm not sure because ceph needs very much light , nep's don't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of having a few Heliamphora but I have heard that they a difficult to care for, what species is best for a beginner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesredtraps Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Heliamphora...Maybe some high-land nepenthes but i'm not sure because ceph needs very much light , nep's don't... Not nescassarily, some of us grow Cephs in the shade, the theory being you get bigger pitchers.I wouldn't say they need more or less light than anything else,Cephs aren't as choosy as some think. Though some would say Ceph cuttings respond well to light. Back to the point quite a few CPs will grow nicely in a terrarium,as has been said Heliamphora are nice,and intermediate Neps will be happy almost anywhere you put them as long as it's not too cold.

MFS Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I had a large planter with Cephs, D. pygmaea, D. capensis, Dionaea and Sarracenia minor for many years. Eventually the Sarra started to overtake everything and I repotted the individual components, but they grew well outside together. The best answer to your question would be: anything that requires similar temperatures and water availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Cephs are really not a terrarium plant. They need all four seasons. In contrast, Neps are equatorial. They do better at window sills and in temperate climates, outside for ~3 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntsmanshorn Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 You could give D. hamiltonii a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of them ion my experience, schizandra and adelae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moof Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 The queensland sisters in general: D.prolifera, adelae and schizandra. There's also some other species that do well in terrariums, especially these from South America. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
