Struggling Cephalotus: Overwatering or Light Adjustment?

Sarah received a Cephalotus 2 months ago—older pitchers died (shipping shock?), newer growth struggling. Other Cephalotus thrives in same conditions. Suspects heavier soil mix. Conditions: 5" below 6×T5, 55–65°F night / 75–80°F day, 60% RH, good airflow, top-water every few days with cold distilled water.

Jeff Dallas: Conditions sound great. Plant may be adjusting from prior shady conditions to bright lights—new growth looks promising. Cephalotus is slow; 2 months isn't long. If current soil works for the healthy plant, consider transplanting the new one to it (gently, with Superthrive dip).

Good Growing!
