Dear All,
I am not sure whether people should grow N. Madagascariensis as a
highland or Lowland (I am about to start growing it as a highland) but it is
DEFINITELY and without doubt officially classed as highland. I know people who
grow it as highland and they do OK. However, there seems to be confusion as Paul
Gardner at Marston Exotics classes it as a Lowland in his catalogue also.
With regard to many requests to me asking for a summary of Tissue Culture
and media to be posted onto the Discussion Group, I intend to put one together
(although strictly other peoples experience; I don't TC myself. Yet.) but the
contents will have to be untested by me..... If thats OK.
I'll try to do it quickly, but I have so much to do it could be a month
or so......
Kind Regards and don't kill too many Cephalotus......

PS. Sorry about the last quote. I didn't mean to be nasty. I have 2
Cephalotus, one in my slightly heated greenhouse that falls below -2 C
in winter and one inside on a non-sunny windowsill which I really should
get round to moving. The 1st one I water from the top ( It hasn't died
yet..... ) and the second one I don't water at all. Don't ask. The
1st one's fine with 2" pitchers and is growing, the 2nd ones pitchers
are 2mm in size and decreasing.....
