The cleverly nestled traps of the Cephalotus (Australian Pitcher Plant) sit like little open-mouthed birds in nest awaiting foodstuffs.

  • do these catch reain water like purpera?

  • @PhazonSwimmy yes. although they are small and can fill with a heavy rainfall, they have a mechanism built in to get rid of excess water as soon as the rain stops

  • how many hours of full sun light per day do you give your Cephalotus? whats the minimum temp you let yours get too?

  • About 6 hours of sun per day is fine. Mine have hit low temps of ~5 celcius. As long as they don't freeze, they can handle it (if acclimated).

  • @Piranhaboy01 well it'll be interesting to see if they survive the limits i am now pushing them. they are frozen in an outdoor pond for the winter. you can watch the progress of the wetland construction videos. my fingers are crossed.

  • I love how fast it just falls in it's just like boom gone

  • @jojojohnpau

    No, it isn't. I'm growing mine in a terrarium near a window which creates a stable environment. It has produced 5 nice pitchers in the past few months. It can be picky, but it is definitely not difficult.
