Sarah's 8-month-old Cephalotus (from eBay) declines: new growth yellows/browns before maturing. Conditions: 6×24W T5 (3×6500K, 3×3000K) 8" away, max 80°F day, 60s°F night via ice packs, >50% humidity, weekly top-water distilled, amber runoff. Other Cephs and Helis thrive.
"You will not kill your plant, you will save it." 2–3 week setback max. Use airy 50/50 peat/perlite. Wash roots gently. 6×24W may be too intense for sensitive clones. Ice packs unnecessary—night drop not critical for Albany plants; they lower humidity. Other conditions good.
Premier peat (sticks/lumps) is fine—slowly wet before use. Woody bits aid aeration; remove oversized pieces. Fafard brand preferred.
