 | To the left is my cute Cephalotus follicularis in June 2003. At the foot is a picture of the plant in April 2004 just before the new summer pitchers begin forming. The brilliant red colouring is due to high light levels. I have a little difficulty with rot from the base of spent flower stalks over winter and have found myself removing pitchers to allow better airflow through the crowns over winter. All seems ok so far, but if I were to lose the plant I will try again but attempt to overwinter it indoors on a windowsil. |
