Cephalotus follicularis (a.k.a. the Australian or Albany Pitcher Plant) is native to the coastal area of southwestern Australia. The first known reference to the plant is from a diary entry by botanist, Robert Brown, in 1802. The carnivorous pitchers of C. follicularis utilize several tactics for trapping and retaining prey, including semi-transparent “windows” in the lid, bright coloration, nectar, a toothed peristome, and slippery inner walls to name a few. In addition to the carnivorous pitchers, C. follicularis also produces flat, non-carnivorous leaves.

Beautiful plant. Was very well packaged and looked healthy. I’ve followed the acclimation instructions using an aquarium and plastic wrap to gradually reduce the humidity. So far, the ceph looks great after the first week.

Bought this plant about a year ago.
It was very well packaged and arrived in great condition with many small green pitchers. After transplanting, it seemed to decline over the winter and lost most of its pitchers, which were replaced with leaves. I was worried that it was about to die since I heard it was difficult to grow. Fortunately, I gave it higher light intensity and it quickly seemed to recover, gaining a reddish color. Currently, it has produced three mature pitchers! Very satisfied with my purchase.
