my Cephalotus follicularis

[nepenthesfinatic13]

hello,
I have a Cephalotus "typical" growing in a four inch afircan violet pot it is growing in the same conditions as my highland Nepenthes 75 degreese max during the day, 60 degreese at night. the problem is that before august it only had one growing point and it was only producing the non-carnivorous leaves but in early september it developed a second growth point and now it has at least 7 developing pitchers! I just dont know what to do because i have read that Cephalotus require a dormancy but i dont want it abort the pitchers. i just want to know if it will hurt the plant if it does not have have a dormancy, or am i just overly concerned.

You don't say weather you are growing in a terrarium, outside or in a greenhouse.
You don't need to worry though, let the plant do what it is doing.
Cephalotus Dormancy is not absolutely required.

Hello,
I grow all my plants in my basement under lights. I will just let it be.

Cephalotus can be a tricky plant to cultivate, but the problems are easily solved if the plant is given a little special attention. Found in a small corner of Western Australia, Cephalotus follicularis is a gem of a plant highly prized by Carnivorous plant collectors world wide.

Hello,
I thought I'd say it's dong fine and has finished pitcher production and has started on some leaves. I think it's actually very easy to grow!!
