All Heliamphora are nice (for the exception of dead ones). The more I see it the more I can't wait to get it in the mail. It's so hard waiting for them.
Yes, my plant is a H. Heterodoxa x Nutans. Sorry I didn't post that in the original message. I hope to get an updated photo today. As of 9:53AM EST, my host is offline.
great looking heliamphora nick! the one I got from petflytrap 2 years ago is doing great! wasn't very big when it first came, but it got big in a few months
Hello,
Thats an even nicer pic Nick! Heres a link to my site where you can see mine when I first got it, its alot redder now, no pitchers with nectar spoons yet. Im waiting for it though.
i tried heliamphoras once before, i got 2 heterodoxa x minors from this site, but i killed them
. i know how, i rotted them, i always had the tray filled with water, and i didnt have the plastic dome over it for enough humidity, i would like to try them again but i canot find them
Stefano1, </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> i would like to try them again but i canot find them[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'> Hey if mine grows and produces seed or offshutes I'll let you know. You may have to remind me. If you want one sooner you can post on the trading forums. I'd recomend a hybrid though as I've heard they're a little more forgiving.
Hey one of you guys who posted pics, could you possibly post a pic of the Heliamphora's surroundings with it in it? Thanks.
One has to be very carefull about using the tray method with Heliamphora. Too much time left in standing water will rot the roots. I water mine from the top, and just enough to allow some water to be in the saucer, which is less than 1/4 at any one time.
Heliamphora like to be top watered and enjoy cooler water. Allow some of the water to be sprinkled into the pitchers. No worry about filling the pitchers too full, they have a small slit in the front that allows them to regulate the amount of water in the pitchers.
Ok, thanks for the tips. You guys teamed with the Savage Garden are REALLY helpful.
I think it is soooo cool how this plants have "drainage" systems to keep the water a certain levels and how they are so uniquely adapted to their environments.
