How long does it need to get that size?

I think that plant is 3 years... they all came from tissue culture so age is relatively hard to guess.

Allow me to be the first to Ceph! ...haha, Ceph, as a verb, good one. Since it's a cool summer where I am and the nights are, well, cold (I have to put on a jacket to go for a smoke outside). Is it a good idea to bring my Ceph's outside? I'm thinking it probably is but I'm kind of apprehensive, don't want to lose any. Just a general Ceph question, thanks in advance for any insight. Gabriel.

I have verrrry limited experience with these plants. I do know that as long as the outside temp doesnt drop below 1-2 you should be ok. Keep it out of the rain in a bit of overhead cover. From what ive read they appreciate a cool night if the day is warm... Nol

I've been putting my ceph outside every time it rains. It was kind of a grey colour due to the dust on it. Now it's colours are much more vibrant. It's started putting out pitchers much faster since the spring as well.

Due to my outdoor mite infestation I've moved my cephs indoors... after a month of transition the small divisions that I made threw their first pitcher. Lid popped today; *sniffle* our little guy's all grown up *sniffle* Attachments:

I'm using a foliar high 'L' amino with b+, that's what's 'greenin em up' tough to get nutrient to them before the traps open yaknowhatimsaaayin' Also moisture on the leaves causing root rot, hogwash

Good ..i mist my plants on my grow rack cuz it gets 35 plus in my closet ......i try not to mist te cephs but ... The one i got a month ish ago opened a pitcher for me. I need to take some close ups and tag them to watch growth rates ...cuz a couple i bought sunday look like they already grew../ didnt miss a beat when i repotted ..iv only been watching cuz i sat them in a tray of water to saturate the peat before i do the almost dry thing like brad does

35 is np as long as they get cool at night.
When the traps open I mortar Bloodworm:R/o water:Nutrients into a syringe and feed once a week.
If the moisture has a chance to evaporate it helps cool, big +1 especially with a fan on hot days. If let to sit with no heat overnight, it will cause rot. For example spraying right as the lights got off bahhhhd. I do any of that foliar stuff so that it has due time to absorb/evaporate with little chance of pooling, early cycle.
