We don't fertilize our plants other than Sarracenia and Cephalotus. I can make one for how I fertilize Sarracenia. There really isn't a whole lot to it other than using a few products at the recommended dosages. Sarrs can take a ton of fertilizer
Thanks for planning on getting one from us! Aren't Cephalotus awesome?! I was heartbroken when I killed my big Hummer's Giant by overwatering it before leaving on a trip and returning home to find it had died from Sudden Cephalotus Death Syndrome, as people in the hobby call it. Yes, we should definitely have some to offer next year. At the very least, I plan on repotting those white 5x5 pots full of plants and selecting out just a few to keep for myself to grow to adulthood :)
Really awesome videos, just started keeping carnivorous plants about a month ago and your vids really helped me out 🙏🙌 just got my cephalotus few days ago and it's really small ❤ hope to order from your store soon.
Thank you so much for the nice feedback! Glad to hear that you've found the videos helpful as that is our primary goal -- helping other growers!! I hope that your Cephalotus grows well for you and that we have enough at FlytrapStore that you can order from us soon :)
I do use Osmocote pellets in my pots of Cephalotus in my personal collection. And sometimes I fertilized with liquid fertilizer both in the pitchers and roots. They seem to respond well to that. No, I don't use perlite in my Cephalotus mix. They seem to enjoy the peat and sand mix very much. I've also used long-fiber sphagnum and sand and they grow well in it too.
@@FlytrapStore I have seen some folks using all perlite, but seems a bad idea if your away for a few days having the roots dry out. I have noted in experiments soil mixes more on the peat side tend to give more deep green to foliage vs more perlite or sand giving a much lighter green. Nice to see others working with these plants
@@chevyvega6622 that's an interesting observation about the greenness of the plant depending on the amount of peat used. It seems that Cephalotus will grow in pretty much anything so it is up to each grower to find their preference!
Hey Ric! I think this page would tell you all you need to know about the media used for tissue culture, along with some protocols to get you started with seeds: www.flytrapcare.com/tissue-culture-basics/
Can you make a video on fertilizing, please? On how you fertilize your plants.

Fantastic! I just got my first cephalotus 8 days ago. So far it's doing well. Looking forward to hopefully getting one from you guys eventually.

Awesome video! I mine yesterday. Little monsters in the making
Have you tried chopped sphagnum? I dry mine out and crush it with my hands rolling them together
Yep, it works very well too!
try milorganite, a few grains in the mix. No perlite in the mix? Peat and sand works well for you

Great video Matt. If time allows, can you list the ingredients you used in your awesome concoction?
