dude....there was a ceph sale just a while ago by purpman....but they went like hot cakes. Give him a pm and ask him to add u to his waiting list. Cephs are a bit too popular. The irony is people always care of the hard to grow plants or the plants they cannot grow..lol! me and my rajah for instance...but plants that grow like weeds or once the plants they thought were hard grow "ok" (me and my bical)... u kinda loose that enthusiasm and move on to the next. Human nature eh?? pretty convoluted.

Here is an updated picture. Note that I repotted it into peat/sand/perlite mix at 1/1/1. I find that mix works well for my cephs. The plant was shipped to me in Chilean LFS and it was recommended not to repot it till the spring but I elected to repot it now(don't tell Purpman I did'nt follow his suggestion- It'll be our secret). I personally find cephs don't react negatively to repotting so I have not found repotting to be a problem so far.

The beast is looking good, CurlingGuy...
I repotted mine to sand/peat quite a while ago. The plant didn't miss a beat, and currently has five nice and robust pitchers with four more on the way (one of which appears to be the start of a new growth crown). This plant seems to grow very fast for me. I could not be more thrilled with it.
I'll try to get a full pic of the plant on the forum in the next couple of days.

LOL and the big guy logs on just long enough to say BUSTED!!! funny stuff
I repotted mine about 5 months ago and it went CRAZY- it's in a windowsill so it's mostly making winter leaves right now but I know the drill, it'll be MASSIVE by about May
That plant is looking pretty fine CG

How long do your plants take to make a pitcher from start to finish? Why does mine alone seem like its crawling at snails pace??
