Paul,
John Hummer grows all kinds of CPs, Not just Cephs and he is quit an
expert on bog flowers as well. I have seen his collection and I might
add, quit an impressive collection. John has probably been to every
bog there is on the East Coast of the US and several times over. John
is a long time dedicated CPer. He also gives an outstanding
presentation at CP meets
Hummer grows the giant Ceph's because they are in demand. He has
found the secret to cloning them and growing them to a very large size
(Usually two inches traps or better). I would assume that he also has
other clones as well, but by far the "Giant" is his best grower. John
starts his plants from leaf cuttings, He also divides them up as well
and has several aquariums going at one time. As for the size of the
aquarium, I don't think it really matters. He uses the 10 gallon
aquariums because they are easy to transport to shows. He sells his
plants right out of the aquariums. You pick what clump you want and he
digs it up for you.
John places his aquariums on the east side of his house(I believe),
close to several windows and uses over head grow lights as well. He
uses no fertilizer and waters his ,plants every once in a while, or as
needed. Usually when the top of the soil starts to dry out.
I hope this helps.
