Albany Pitcher Plants taking it cool in the Sembcorp Cool House.
The smaller sensor with its generous depth-of-field made keeping this whole bunch of pitchers in focus an easy task.

Does anyone have any tips on caring for Cephalotus? This fuzzy fella is so small I’m afraid I’ll accidentally kill him 🥺🥺

So I bought a bunch of new carnivorous plants this week and what better way to try to kickstart this blog than by filling it with plants?? Certainly beats the poor life choice rambles that filled it while I was struggling with, well, a rather weird period of my life last year.
So, without further ado, PLANTS!
Tumblr media
First up, my Darlingtonia! I only bought it this week, so I've yet to see how well it copes with my standard setup but I'll be moving in with my nan in less than a week so I can always do a rejig there! If worst comes to the worst I'll have to climate control my bedroom for it, but hopefully temperatures will sufficiently fluctuate naturally
Tumblr media
Next up, Cephalotus follicularis! A neat little find at the same place I found the Darlingtonia! I'll admit that although I'd seen pictures of Cephalotus before, I'd never realised just how rare they really were. Conservation status Vulnerable, they're found in a small region around the town or Albany, Australia, hence their common name of Albany pitcher. Like the Darlingtonia, it's a slightly more challenging species to grow compared to my usual Sarracenia so it'll be interesting to see if it copes with the current setup, or if it'll need some special treatment. I'm hoping that after having being grown in an open greenhouse in the heart of Wales they'll be at least somewhat hardy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Utricularia! The pot on the left shows the foliage, the tiny green leaves between the moss, and the one on the right shows the flowers! The nursery I got these from were selling two species, so I'm hoping I've managed to grab one of each, but I won't know until the left one flowers!
Tumblr media
Sarracenia flava! I absolutely love the lid shape on this one. That is all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A Sarracenia "hybrid" which appears to be a purperae in the same pot as Something Else (you can see the two different types of leaves). Funnily enough I didn't notice until I got it home, and actually bought it because it was flowering, signifying the plant is at least five years old! Unfortunately I have no clue which of the two is actually five years old
Tumblr media
And finally, Sarracenia psittacina, with a bunch of little sundews! Needs a bit of a trim!

Does that advice for fly traps go for pitcher plants too or,,, because my brother has a dying pitcher plant and I hate seeing it look so sad
Depends on the type of pitcher plant TBH. Mostly, the rules of bright light, pure water, and nutrient poor soil apply as far as I know, but there may be variations. I’ve only ever grown sarracenias myself.
For specifics, there are five main varieties of pitcher plant, some of which include a few different species…
Tumblr media
Sarracenias (trumpet pitchers) are North American temperate swamp plants. Some species can grow surprisingly tall. Follow the same rules as for venus flytraps and they’ll do fine. These are one of the most common pitchers kept as houseplants.
Tumblr media
Nepenthes are tropical forest plants, sometimes called monkey cups. They grow big and often look very pretty, but do best in warmer and more humid conditions, and usually like to hang downwards. They don’t experience winter in the wild, so don’t go dormant. These are the other most common variety – there are a lot of nepenthes species with wildly varying appearances, including some which are large enough to catch mice.
Tumblr media
Darlingtonia (cobra lillies) are an unusual and distinctive kind of pitcher which are native to California. They’re really difficult to grow. In the wild, they live along mountain streams, so they like warm climates but do best if their roots are kept in cold water. There’s only one known species of these.
Tumblr media
Cephalotus (Albany pitchers) are native to Australia. I’m afraid I don’t know very much about them, but they should manage in the same conditions as sarracenias. I think they prefer sandy soil? There’s also only one known species of these.
Tumblr media
Heliamphora (Sun pitchers) come from South America near the equator, mostly around Venezuela and Brazil. They don’t really have any seasonal changes, but some heliamphora species grow naturally at high altitude and like cooler temperatures.

Cephalotus follicularis
The albany pitcher plant is a unique carnivorous plant that lives on peaty slopes above swamps in Western Australia. it's puts on magnificent displays shortly after fires when it takes advantage of the extra light to produce much larger leaves and many more pitchers than normal. They also get some lovely colour varitions from green to red to near black in response to sunlight

Only 2 pages left to design! Pending unforeseen catastrophes this colouring book will be finished by the end of the week! Here is the Golden Bell tree frog with the carnivorous Albany pitcher plant, and a Bearded Dragon with Blue Dampiera flowers. https://ift.tt/2VfeFf4

Happy birthday :D glad you got your nepenthes pokedex *confetti emojis*
thank!!!!! i love them they are good and also have cephalotus in them bc even though they are not technically nepenthes (evolved independently; also, Cephalotus is the last surviving member of it’s genus. like all of its relatives are extinct and Cephalotus follicuarus - the Albany Pitcher plant- that we know and love is the last living plant in the genus, making it what we call a monotypic genus, which is very rare) they are included bc they are loved and cared for as well and i appreciate this. they also have the other pitcher plants (like sarracenia and stuff) but i love my fuzzy beach babs
