Repotted my (probably not) H. heterodoxa x minor

I'm super excited about how well this Heli I got from @Werdna is growing! (It was sold to him as heterodoxa x minor but doesn't believe it actually is.)
Some history:
Got it around Feb '22 in a small pot of LFS as a rooted cutting, I immediately repotted it to the stratum mix he suggests (see sticky in this sub forum).

I also seeded live sphagnum heads into it which did well till it dried out a few times.
By April '23 it had grown a lot (reseeded with sphagnum a few times lol)

In July I was going to repot it, but it decided to send up multiple flower stalks. I let them flower but cut them all as the 3rd or 4th was coming up.

Now that some time has passed I figured it was time to do it. I didnt want to divide it yet, so there is really no room to add live sphagnum again.


New pot/old pot. New pot sitting in deep water after transplant and being top watered heavily. Maybe I should have used a bigger pot.

Looks good! I have a H. heterodoxa x minor that I got from Jeremiah Harris awhile back and it doesn't show the elongation of the top of the pitcher, under the nectar spoon, that yours have in some of the leaves. Of course, that could just be a matter of it being a different clone. Whatever it is, it's a nice plant that you have.

“I should’ve used a bigger pot,” is what I think almost every time I repot one of those.

Beautiful!. Having hard time with 1 of my helis, it came potted. I should try your soil mix. It's fluval stratum, perlite and lfsm?

Check out Andrew's (Werdna) write up, I'm following what he says He recommends stratum and pumice, but says perlite works (which is what I have on hand).

Thank you!!!. This is my not happy heli.

Looks healthy to me, just has immature pitchers! But if you're not sure how to care for it, Andrew's guide is great. I've failed many times then he gave me this when I gave him some Nep seeds, but I told him I'd only do it if he guided me. Which clearly had worked amazingly!
