Cephalotus follicularis is a small carnivorous plant that grows wild on the southwest coast of Western Australia. It is a particularly interesting species due to its unique appearance, with leaves that grow in the shape of small pots or pitchers.

To care for this plant, you must consider the following aspects:
Light : Cephalotus follicularis needs exposure to bright light, but not direct to the scorching summer sun.
Humidity : This plant requires a humid environment to survive. It is important to keep the soil consistently moist and mist the leaves regularly to prevent them from drying out.
Soil: Cephalotus follicularis prefers an acidic soil rich in nutrients. It is recommended to use a mixture of peat and perlite or vermiculite, which allows good drainage of water.
Feeding: Like other carnivorous plants, Cephalotus follicularis needs insects to survive. It is important not to feed the plant meat or other foods, but to allow it to forage for its own food.
Temperature : This plant prefers moderate temperatures, between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. It is not advisable to expose the plant to temperatures lower than 5 degrees Celsius or higher than 30 degrees Celsius.
