The Venus Fly Trap House Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I bought a ceph from ebay a few months ago. It was in a very small pot and I was too scared to repot it. But its health slowly started to decline. Some of the plant's pitchers turned yellow, moldy and eventually died. I knew there was something wrong so I repotted it. When I took it out of the small pot most of its roots were rotten. I planted it in a bigger pot in a mix of sphagnum peat moss and perlite. After I repotted it was growing well but then I found slow release fertiliser pellets in the old ceph soil that was still around the roots so I removed them. I would like to know if I did anything wrong and what it was. Sincerely Aviv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyr Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. Some CP dealers DO add a 14-14-14 osmocoat pellet or 2 in when they re-pot. I believe Green Jaws does that and California Carnivores too IIRC. When I re-potted my ceph a few weeks ago half the pitchers died but about 5 new ones started growing almost immediately.
