Hi songling_li,

you grow a gorgeous plant there. Beautiful!

Wished my Cephaloti would show those magnificent colors. How do you illuminate yours?

Cheers

Hi Songling,

welcome aboard! What a brilliant "guy" of Cephalotus "German Giant"! :blink: I wonder what lamp do you use. I´ve grown this clone for several years but pitchers have never become bigger than approx. 4 cm (height). I wonder how old a "German Giant" must be to show its final size. Too bad I sold all my Cephs last year when I decided to give up CPs! :ak: And finally: Giving up CPs didn´t work anyway! :haha: (The worst addiction I ever experienced...)

Kind regards

Andreas

Dear all,

I'm using a LED panel, with the voltage of 45W, most are red bulbs. The heat generated is low enough to put plants very close to it. But it's only 40 X 40 cm large, just enough to cover several plants. And once a led bulb burned, the rest will burned in a row quickly...

Best regards,

Songling Li

Wirklich sehr schöne Fotos :thumbsu:

In einigen Jahren werde ich mich auch an diese Gattung trauen.

Im Moment fühle ich mich noch zu unerfahren, was Cephalotus angeht.

Aber nach solchen Fotos möchte man am liebsten sofort starten

Nice coloration!

So it's 45 W per 0.4x0.4 m = 281 watts per square metre in your setup.

I'm growing also Cephalotus under a do-it-yourself LED light with 18*1.1W = 20 W white highpower Cree LEDs per 0.6x0.3m = 111 watts per square metre

My Cephalotus grows mostly green with very little coloration.
