Care Sheet: Cephalotus follicularis (Albany Pitcher Plant)
🪴 Overview
Cephalotus follicularis is a small, ground-hugging carnivorous plant from the southwestern coast of Australia. It produces unique, dark red-green pitfall traps (pitchers) that resemble miniature toothy mugs 🏺🦷. Despite its exotic look, it is relatively compact and can thrive under the right conditions—but it is unforgiving if its core needs are ignored.
☀️ Light
Optimal: Bright, indirect light.
Artificial Lighting: Thrives under strong grow lights 💡 (12–16 hrs daily).
Sunlight: Morning/late-afternoon sun 🌅 is safe; avoid harsh midday sun ☀️.
Tip: Strong light = deeper red pitchers ❤️.
🌡️ Temperature
Day: 20–28 °C
Night: 10–18 °C 🌙
Tolerance: Brief spikes to 35 °C if well ventilated 🌬️.
Dormancy: Slight winter slowdown ❄️; cool nights (10–15 °C) improve longevity.
💧 Humidity & Airflow
Humidity: 50–80% is ideal 🌫️.
Tolerance: Can adapt to lower humidity if roots stay moist.
Airflow: Essential 🚫🦠 → prevents rot.
💦 Watering
Type: Rain, RO, or distilled water only 🚱.
Method: Keep soil moist but not soggy.
Tray Method: Shallow tray (0.5–1 cm) during growth. In cooler months, water from above and avoid standing water.
⚠️ Warning: Overwatering = root rot ⚰️.
🪨 Soil
Well-drained, airy, low-nutrient mix.
2 parts peat moss + 1 part perlite
2 parts long-fiber sphagnum + 1 part sand/perlite
Optional: fine orchid bark 🌳
🚫 Never use potting soil, compost, or fertilizer.
🦟 Feeding
Pitchers trap tiny insects naturally 🐜.
Indoors: feed ants, gnats, springtails.
⚠️ Don’t overfeed—rotting prey spoils pitchers.
❌ No foliar or soil fertilizers.
🪣 Pots & Containers
Type: Plastic or glazed ceramic (avoid terracotta 🚫).
Depth: ≥ 10 cm for roots.
Repotting: Every 2–3 years (spring). Roots are delicate.
🌿 Growth Pattern
Produces two leaf types:
Flat non-carnivorous leaves 🌱 (low light/cool).
Carnivorous pitchers 🏺 (strong light/warmth).
Slow grower ⏳ but forms long-lived clumps.
✂️ Propagation
Methods: Leaf pulls, root cuttings, division, or seed.
Leaf pulls: Take flat leaf with rhizome bit attached → plant in sphagnum under high humidity 🌫️.
⚠️ Common Issues
Root Rot: #1 killer 💀 → poor drainage/waterlogging.
Heat Stress: Prolonged hot nights weaken plants 🥵.
Pests: Aphids, mealybugs, fungus gnats 🐞—treat with care.
Pitcher Collapse: Normal aging 🍂 → replaced by new growth.
✅ Key Takeaways
Bright light 🌞 + cool nights 🌙 + airy soil 🪨.
Avoid overwatering 🚫💦 and heat stress 🥵.
Slow but rewarding—this is a collector’s gem 💎.
