Cephalotus follicularis “UC Davis”

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

Did you know that all “UC Davis” clones originated from our mother plant? In 2012, Brian Lipinski obtained an unnamed Cephalotus from a UC Davis Botanical Conservatory volunteer, and henceforth, named it his “UC Davis” plant. This is a well established crown division from the original Best In Show award winning plant. All plants at Deathalotus are growing under the following conditions:

Substrate: Growing in a coarse mixture of organic coco coir, pine bark, pumice, lava, and calcined clay within a 3 oz cup.

Water: Plants are sprayed with rainwater when the media looks and feels dry.

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).
