I’ve been looking for one of those forever! Where did you buy it? #### Citruslemmon replied on 2026-05-06 I got it from rapacious\_dews in instagram at a plant show! ### golden knights fan commented on 2026-05-06 I would help but I only have nepenthes ### Panini commented on 2026-07-23 Haha I was reading back and I saw this.. I got a cephalotus a while back, they’re highland plants so they like really good airflow and about 65-75% humidity. For their soil they like a well draining mix so 1 pt sand to 2 pt peat to 1 pt perlite is perfect for them. They also like a deeper pot because they like to be further away from the water. #### Citruslemmon replied on 2026-07-23 It died 🙈 ### Panini commented on 2026-07-23 Oh! Oh no! ### Panini commented on 2026-07-23 😅 --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
