Cephalotus 09

[quogue]

Been awhile since I posted Ceph pics... got that Dreaded fungus and had a problem with that for awhile which set all my plants back.
But I beat the fungus again and the plants have recovered. Still not back to where they were yet.

Anyways:

One Plant I have

In the tank



Fancy pot pic



A plant I got from Meadowview BRS awhile ago. Massive rootsystem, starting to poke up from the ground again





Here's a cool one, a Ceph that makes hooked ribs... the other two forming pitchers seen in the pics have developed since this pic I took last month (takes me awhile to post sometimes...)
Both of them carry this trait.



The new plant for the Tiki pot.



A plant that was seed grown from a friend that I got the Hooked Ceph from as well.
This plant seems to put out pitcers that are Wider & Flatter. The trait has continued for the whole time now and I hope it is stable.

In the Tank



These are another of another plant.
The secret to strongly-coloured Cephs seems to be long term strong light & cool temps so they do not get overheated & collapse over time.

wow! I love all of the different traits in them! The chubby and hooked ribs ones are my faves, fantastic colour in the last one. Nice decorative pots too, they look good in them.

Quogue,

You mentioned battling fungus. Was it powdery mildew patches on the pitchers and leaves? How did you eradicate it? Also, I noticed some of your plants looked like giant forms. Was the fungus just on them or the smaller types also. I'm finding we seem to get it only on the larger forms. The smaller plants seem much more resistant to it.
