The Most Uncreative Name in the History of Ever
I've always wanted a Heliamphora. As Maiden has stated, be careful with it! These are difficult plants.
did this come from the distributor yesterday?
thats the largest pilosa i've seen upon arrival! ou lucked out
+1 very nice specimen.... mine got manhandled by the angry customs agents.
One pitcher and one root survived... slow road back,
1 year later, now got two pitchers.... but no complaints, she is alive and kicking
You won the pilosa lottery and you're experienced heli grower, cant wait to see her in all her fuzzyness
Very nice! I'm in the same boat as Av8tor. So what did you get for the other 250 euros?
H. exappendiculata (Apacapa T.), Nepenthes clipeata, N. attenboroughii and N. nigra. The N. attenboroughii was almost DOA, so
Andreas will send a replacement. The other Heliamphora looks a bit rough; it has adult pitchers. In hindsight, an immature plant would probably travel better.
As always, Andreas stands behind all his plants, and will replace any losses.
(I've had a few Heliamphora for years. Nepenthes and a few Sarracenia have been my main focus, but Butch's posts have really gotten me excited about trying
more Helis. Plus, my wife and I are moving to a new house, and it has a cool basement where Heliamphora may be happier than in the outdoor greenhouse.

Hey, how is your pilosa 3 months later ? I have a pilosa on the way, somewhere over the atlantic ocean right nowi just CANT wait anymore !
Waiting is really the hardest part..
It's doing fine, thanks. Several new pitchers, but still juvenile.
Really no change - just more juvenile pitchers. When an adult one appears, I will post a new photo!would love to see a pic when you have the time

Even juvenile pitchers are nice to see on this awesome plant.
