CARING FOR CEPHALOTUS

Cephalotus follicularis

This tiny picture plant is 

 tiny carnivores have tiny bladder-like traps underground which trap miniscule critters. Keep these species quite moist, and flood them once a week or so. They can be grown under lights, on a windowsill, in a terrarium, or in a bog garden if the species is hardy. They grow well at the feet of pitcher plants. Refer to another carnivorous plant care sheet (Sarracenia or Venus flytrap) for general information regarding water and soil mixes.
