Cephalotus Follicularis
West Australian pitcher Plant
Original:Small carnivorous pitcher plant, that grows in a small area in southwestern Australia. This plant produces a clump of thumb-size pitchers. Upon closer inspection, you can see teeth-like appendages lining the rim of each pitcher. It requires partial to full sun. Grow it in a location where it can receive approximately 4 or more hours of direct sunlight and bright filtered sunlight throughout the rest of the day. New:Nepenthes is a genus of carnivorous plants which can be successfully cultivated in greenhouses. They should only be watered with rainwater, given plenty of bright light (though some species can grow in full sun), a well-drained medium, good air circulation and relatively high humidity.

Propogation
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plants can be propagated by seed, cuttings, and tissue culture. Seeds are usually sown on damp chopped Sphagnum moss, or on sterile plant tissue culture media once they have been properly disinfected.
Propogation by cuttings
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Cuttings may be rooted in damp Sphagnum moss in a plastic bag or tank with high humidity and moderate light. They can begin to root in one to two months and start to form pitchers in about six months.
Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant young plants in a 1:1 mixture of orchid medium with moss or perlite.
