Cephalotus Vacation Care: Self-Watering African Violet Pot

Taylor worries about keeping Cephalotus moist during 1–2 week trips. Fear of drying out or root rot from overwatering.

Simple Solution

Plant in a self-watering African violet pot (ceramic insert with lower water chamber). Available at Lowe's/Home Depot. Porous ceramic wicks water steadily—perfect moisture for ~2 weeks. Customers report this solved their Cephalotus struggles. Also works for Mexican butterworts.

Good Growing!
