Hang on... There are very few lowland Heliamphora, and usually it is well designated by the seller. Just be careful with your information, don't want to end up killing a plant.

I would not catagorize H. minor as lowland. That does not mean that it is not growing for droseradude like that. I have seen others grow Helis very well sitting in water, which many would not recommend.

Thanks everyone for your comments!  

 

eplants02, my plants typically experience temperatures between 68-80F on a daily basis.  They don't sit in water, and are top watered once a week (should be more, but I'm lazy at times).  4x a day they get misted by my humidifier-setup I have going.  

What I'm really suprised by is the nice coloring from only 2x 40w fluorescent light tubes.  I do have mylar backing as well as mylar between the bulbs and light fixture to reflect all the light into the 50 gallon tank.
