Cephalotus follicularis 'Typical' (Albany Pitcher Plant)
Cephalotus follicularis 'Typical' (Albany Pitcher Plant)
Cephalotus follicularis ‘Typical’ is the classic form of the Albany Pitcher Plant, a compact carnivorous species endemic to south-west Western Australia. Mature plants form low rosettes of richly coloured, toothed pitchers that develop their strongest red and burgundy tones under bright light.
Plant size: You will receive a juvenile plant approximately 2 cm across.
Growing guide: Keep in bright filtered light or gentle morning sun. Use a free-draining carnivorous plant mix and stand the pot in a shallow tray of rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water during active growth. Avoid fertilised potting mix and mineral-rich tap water. Protect from prolonged extreme heat and allow good airflow.
Plants may vary naturally in size and colour. Juvenile plants will develop their characteristic pitchers as they mature.
A tissue culture plants are grown in clear gel, transparent container that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.
Our Gel Cup are non-sterile gel media that we use for start the hardening process after a plant has been in tissue culture.These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy as the get ready to transition to standard growing conditions.
Quick Hardening Steps:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
Each transparent Transition Cup (5 cm diameter × 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant that has moved beyond sterile tissue culture and into a structured transition medium.
Inside, you’ll find a young carnivorous plant securely planted in a semi-solid blend designed to support root development while easing the shift from gel to soil.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity and airflow, helping reduce transplant shock and supporting the plant during this critical transition stage.
Suitable for both novice growers and experienced collectors, Transition Cups provide a reliable, low-stress way to guide delicate carnivorous plants toward successful soil establishment.
Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.
Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.
Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
