Hcarlton's Helis

You might get away with heterodoxa x minor or similar crosses, but 65 is not highland.

Nice plants

I gave it a shot I've got 3 plants going since April, I got them in a humidity dome and at night I throw frozen water bottles in there and I've gotten it down to 57 that way.. but with the recent Month long heatwave it was close to 80 in the day and 65 at night and they haven't skipped a beat.. 2 minors and one is a heterodoxa x minor,

H. minor has sent up a flower stalk...which I will surely fail to pollinate as usual

I sold off almost the entire plant of this cross about a year and a half ago, kept one tiny little offshoot with immature pitchers just because...now it needs dividing again

This thing I don't know if I'll ever want to divide it

I vote for keep it intact. Love that velvet look

 

[Camden M]

Love that red mambo and exappendiculata! Speaking about the Nutans here; do you know where you got it? I wonder if the seller has a history or if the person you got it from got it from a questionable source.

Side note: I have a hetrodoxa x minor that’s flowering for the second time under me and it still has relatively immature pitchers. How long do you think I should expect before it throws out it’s first whopper?

 

[Vbkid]

Can I ask what media your Heli's are in?

 

[hcarlton]

There's nothing wrong with where I got it or the origin of the plant in any manner; it's from an area supposedly rampant with natural hybridization. Nature made a mess, not people. And if your plant is flowering but has pitchers that aren't mature: it's been hormonally messed up, it may never mature or it could grow up at any time. Juvenile plants do not naturally bloom. On the other hand, if you're mistaking the small size of the plant for being immature: it never gets large.
All mine are in the same general sphagnum/perlite mix I keep Nepenthes in.

So I sent out divisions of my H. "nutans" at the start of this year...and then got one returned to me after about 4 months because no one picked it up. So this thing was in a dark box with no extra light for weeks, much of the leaves that were present had died back...but it looks like this now:

Utilizing all the funky ceramics I made back in high school now that I have room for them again

This is one I still need to choose a new pot for though

exappendiculata is almost too bright to look at anymore

Looking good dude.

 

[hcarlton]

Repotted a number of plants, 'Red Mambo' among them. Hoping they take off following.

[hcarlton]

So the interior hairs are significantly longer than on my typical minor, but there's nothing on the exterior...which makes me a little suspicious of this plant's identity...

No suspicion here though, just a very nice neblinae

Hmmmm, those hairs on H. "minor pilosa Auyan"? make it quite interesting!

 

[hcarlton]

Back to these four because they still look the best (I have so many plants that still need to mature just to think of competing)

chimantensis joins the mature pitcher party (though still tiny, biggest traps are under 3"

Very new arrival
H. huberi AW-2 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
That almost immediately decided to flower. The bloom has since almost tripled in diameter and flattened out bright white

H. tatei has begun to mature (parva too, but it's had some struggles and so is not photo-worthy yet)
