CLOSED, NONE LEFT!
Ok, maybe not that great a giveaway, but cephs are cephs. I think about 3 years ago I managed to deflask one of my German Giant TC's from seed (from Insectenfang). It grew and grew to become a blobulous cephaloma. After giving away some other plants and making some room, it was time to unpot it and see what was going on.
After being as careful as I could be, I ended up with more than enough for 3 containers for me. Left over were LOTS of bits and pieces. Some are just little pitchers but there are many bits which look very viable. Some have small but healthy root systems while most are little stemlike ceph plants.
So PM your snailmail addresses to me ASAP. These are small so it is worthwhile to just go with bubble envelopes and see what happens. I tend to favour previous trading partners, active forum members and people I know. However there are enough so I think everybody who wants a bit should get something-I think.
THIS IS A FREE BUT LIMITED OFFER.
As I mentioned on another post, I'm nep deficient. Anybody who can spare a little cutting, please give me something. If you can't then just enjoy them and hope they will grow and spread this new clone all across Canada.
I'll be busy tomorrow so don't worry if I don't answer right away.

CLOSED-NOTHING LEFT
That's it, no more requests. Sorry nothing left at all.
There may be more than one piece so be careful and plant any little bit you see and even use the LFS to top the pot just in case. All the pieces are small and some are really small. The people who got in at the end just had bits and pieces. However knowing cephs, I think there is a good chance that all bits should be viable. I hope the packaging is adequate, I think the post office guy squished one putting it through the measuring slot-hopefully it will not dry out. Anyway good luck.
Garrison, Canadaone, Hackerberry, Sib, z, Bonfield, Blokeman, Barvinok, Jonnybee, Robthered, Doug, Renesis, Hermes & PingKing all got their little baggies, mailed today.
For all those who didn't get it on it, don't be sad, in a year or so these guys should be making more babies again.
By the way, thanks to other OCPS'ers, I seem to be cured of my nep deficiency. Thanks everybody. Don't worry about paying me back, I'm really fine for plants at the moment.

Thank you for the awesome plant Lloyd. I got mine today and it looks great! I planted mine in pure sphagnum. I heard that some people wouldn't even think of doing this, but I've also heard that others have done it with good results. My previous ceph was planted in a peat/perlite/sand mixture, and died back a bit before slowly growing back a little, so i'm hoping the sphagnum will produce safer results.

I've tried cephs a number of ways (sauteed, baked, etc) and I've finally settled on plain old NZ LFS in a sobies plastic cup, undrained. I put another plastic cup on top to make a mini-terrarium and hold it together with long elastic bands from Staples. You could forget the top cup if it's in a humid terrarium. Bright light 19-25C, 16 hour days and they do very well. I keep the top LFS moist but no standing water on the bottom. They are on autopilot then, hardly any care needed, maybe water every 1-2 weeks.
