Nice! I want to get a heli soon, maybe after the summer when I get a job.

 

[BigBella]

Very nice . . .

Out of curiosity, how long did it take for your H. sarracenioides to produce its first adult leaf and about how old is the plant?

Awesome! What are the growing conditions?

Thanks to all for the kind comments.

Very nice . . .

I'm guessing it took about 3 months for the pitcher to develop. The plant arrived in May of 2008.

It's growing in a terrarium under a 55 watt "fluorex" lamp set for 14 hour days. The nights have been dropping below 60F.

Very nice.

I can't wait 'til my Helis produce their first adult pitchers. Seems like it's taking FOREVER.......
