Cephalotus - nice addition to the grow room
 

Hey,
I'm currently on the lookout to put some fly trap plants in my grow areas.. I came up with the idea bc I have most of my plants on humidity trays and want to make advantage of the shade that my Catts provide. In addition, I do have some small flies and that might be a good way to minimize population.
Doing some research I figured out that temp and humidity is about the same. I just bought some carnivourus and they look really nice.
Long story short, I need Cephalotus in my house.
Any idea where to get them? Seems like not easy to find.
Any other thoughts?

thx!

They are not at all easy to grow under lights because it is hard to give enough light without overheating them. They are cool-growing mediterranean climate plants that do well outside along the southern California coast. They absolutely require very pure water and very bright light.

Do a lot of reading before trying to grow one indoors. Maybe start with a less difficult North American pitcher plant hybrid. The light/heat issue is similar, but they are more heat tolerant.

Have you looked at the International Carnivorous Plant Society?

Thanks, and I think you are right. I'll probably try out an hybrid first.. they look so interesting and from how it reads its fine but I guess it's not as easy as I think so I'll play safe.
Best

of course I couldnt resist.. :)
