Къде мога да отглеждам Цефалотус?

Да, но за съжаление, единственото място където мога да осигуря такава температура е в килер, защото на моята тераса е минус 3-4...
Иначе, благодаря за инфото, много беше полезно и отговори точно на въпроса ми. :)

On a resent field trip to Albany in June this year , just to let you know that when I wet to Albany it was mid winter here , many cephs were in a hibernation mode and had shrunk in size to my supprise , but others had less hibernation affects in the same site , others sites I went to like coal mine beach site had all most been distroyed by very strong storms about 4or 5 days before , from whne I arrived at the site , was shocked to see 80% of the cliff face ceph site been washed away or had land sild of the coal face , very sad about this , the ones left there were less affected as they still get sun each day, , but winter did slow them down and cause them to reduce there size buy 1/2 to 3/4 late spring /early summer size , this was the case in most site I revisited , , some were more affected ,because of the sun being low in the sky and the cold weather I suspect , where as in my green house , where I can control the climate more they do still grow and dont reduce in size as much
hope that all make sense

Yeah, but in Australia the temperature does not drop to -3 or -4 °C, does it?

Nope, rarely, if ever. The cephs John is talking about weren't destroyed by cold weather, they were destroyed by "very strong storms", but I reckon that this must have happened before, so the population will recover and everything will be fine. I don't think nature would be that fragile.

Hi argo
no it dose not , not in Albany any how or where I live as well , and that is where your groing conditions must be more in controle , to grow plants similar to the wild ones, you must try to copy the climate conditions as close as possiable , not the other way round !!. this way you get the best results , some times means you need to make a seperate growth area for some plants, to suite is special growing conditions , not all ways easy and usually not cheap , I have about 5 differnt grow areas my self,.

yes is true in most case .except this one , Coal mine beach site is very unusual site ,as all the top soil lays on a bed of black coal , and the under ground water seepage , make the soil very open to land sides, and the big land slide happened in this area where all the cephs were and now its mainly just a coal face with no soil at all ! and never to be replaced , unless its but humans ,will try find some pictures to show the bad results , think I have some .

this may be better to see than a few pictures , this was taken only a few days after the big storm , I was the first one to see this as no other foot prints where there in the soil that slid off the cliff face .
