mobile Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 New cultivar, Cephalotus follicularis ‘Squat’. Deserving of cultivar status in my mind as its pitcher shape is very distinctive. https://cpn.carnivorousplants.org/articles/CPNv50n2p87_91.pdf?fbclid=IwAR39SwYzPtovj0yCo--oyR64mibcznV2r4PoYWdPy_Yz2OYld2OrG4ZT2T0 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo88 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Wonderful plant, in my opinion one of the best clones!!! Only a question to people who grow (or know) it: is it true that it isn’t a vigorous clone and it is very slow growing and very difficult to riproduce from leaf pulling? A friend that has grown it told me those observations, but I don’t know if he had a bad division that never has grown well for him! Thanks a lot Mobile for the link and congratulations to Dimitar that has registered this wonderful clone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like clones with distinctive pitcher shapes, such as Squat and Bananito. They are much easier to distinguish than so-called dark clones which need specific conditions to realise their characteristic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t a greenhouse or a good sun exposition (due my job I must change home every 2/3 years) so the black or giant clones in my growing conditions are just like typical ones... but Cephalotus with distinctive pitcher shapes (as Dudley Watts and its wonderful peristome) are very well looking even in my poor growing conditions;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urogallo Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Lovely variety. Unfortunately imposible to get these inusual "jewels" here in Spain. Thanks for sharing pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
