the soil mix i think is the key. mine is 3 to 1 perlite and spagnum. that layer is about 2 inch. under that i got 3 inches of lava rock.

Bonsay, PingKing also has an advantage we don't have. Cooler temperatures. It seems that our year round constantly high temperature + high humidity cause a slightly different chemistry in the root region.

Is it normal for my ceph with this coloration? or maybe not enough light? I put the pot outdoor under shading net and the plant receive unfiltered direct sunlight for about 2 hours a day. This was on August :  and this on Sept 24  |
