Question
Hi. I am very excited to have just purchased a cephalotus.  I was wondering if
the conditions I am putting it in are ok.  I have about 60% humidity (no
terrarium), two 15 watt flourescent tubes going all the time, peat/perlite mix,
and I am putting about a 1/4'' of distilled water in it's tray. It is indoors.
Thanks,
Joe

Answer
Hi Joe,

Your conditions sound good.  A couple things to refine it a bit.  Don't keep the light on 24/7.  Most plants don't do well with that long-term since it's something that never happens in nature.  Put the light on a timer.  Also, be sure to let the water disappear in your tray before you add more.  Cephalotus always does best if it is slightly drier.

Good Growing!
