*Photo of plant selected is the exact plant you will receive.

This is a healthy clump of multiple crowns and a well established division from my mother plant. I registered this cultivar in February 2020. Click this link to review the June 2020 quarterly journal of the International Carnivorous Plant Society, Carnivorous Plant Newsletter, for more details about this unusually dark and vigorous Cephalotus follicularis cultivar.

All plants at Deathalotus are growing under the following conditions:

Substrate: Growing in pH adjusted Grodan Grow Cubes (Rockwool) within a 2.63'' square by 3.5" deep plastic pot. More information about this substrate can be found here.

Water: Plants reside in nursery flats that are flooded with filtered snowmelt or rainwater 1/4-1/2” deep. The trays are allowed to dry completely between watering cycles.

Light: Growing indoors under 5500-6500K full spectrum white LED lighting (9 HRS. NOV-JAN, 12 HRS. FEB-APR/AUG-OCT, 15 HRS. MAY-JUL).

Temperature: Temperatures fluctuate seasonally between ~60-72ºF (+/-3ºF) night and day.

Humidity: ~54-72% RH during summer months and ~18-27% RH during winter months.

Fertilizer: MaxSea Acid Formula Plant Food (~180ppm/gallon water) is fed 1-2x per month, both as a foliar feed to leaves/pitchers and as a drench to roots/substrate. 

Dormancy: Slower growth/vigor observed during winter months (shorter light cycle/lower temps).
