Hey Socky, Great color and form as usual!  Is that Exyra semicrocea damage I see on the one Heliamphora pitcher? What are your average high and low temps on those babies this time of year? Do you find that new pitcher production increases BUT mature older pitchers seem to die off quicker at this time of year? This seems to be the case with mine....  Happy Growing, Brian. |

Hello Brian! Thanks for the praise . Hey Socky, Is that Exyra semicrocea damage I see on the one Heliamphora pitcher? No, it's just a dying pitcher. I also put some mealworms last summer so, maybe it has rotted. I should check. ;D What are your average high and low temps on those babies this time of year? It's quite cold at the moment. It's about 15/18°C at days and 5/8°C at night. Do you find that new pitcher production increases BUT mature older pitchers seem to die off quicker at this time of year? This seems to be the case with mine.... Uh... I didn't noticed that. The best part of the year is definitely january to june to me. It is as if, the Heliamphora were "recording" the cold temperatures from fall (october to december) before displaying many vibrant pitchers. Just my feeling. I know that doesn't sound very scientific! ;D Anyway, here are some more pictures of Heliamphora, truly one of my favourite genus: H. heterodoxa var. heterodoxa (from Ptari tepui):  H. exappendiculata from Amuri tepui:  This one was sold to me as H. tatei var. viridis:  H. folliculata from Murosipan tepui:  H. "Tequila":  H. ionasii:  H. sarracenioides about to open a 14 cm pitcher:  H. sp. Akopan:  Another view of the terrarium:  François. |

Hey Socky, Thanks for the temperature information. Ahhh...the mealworm would explain it! ;D Do you keep your media drier without much misting or humidity during cooler temps? Is your H. neblinae performing better when it's cooler? Mine seem to be. Excellent flowers! You have alot to work with... Happy Growing, Brian. |

magnifique specially the sp akopan you noticed if the nectar spoon plunges ahead on your specimen ? the temperatures for this period of the year if we compares them with in situ' seem me low, but if they are your cultivate condition  . no light difference in this period of the year in your home? in my home this saison is much more favorable than that of spring jeff |

Hello, Here are a few pictures for Sarraceniaceae addicts. I had to rearrange my two Heliamphora tanks as several plants are becoming quite large...  My biggest plant is my H. folliculata from Murosipan Tepui which begins to look like wild plants.  The flowers of this species are huge!   Heliamphora heterodoxa, Gran Sabana:  Heliamphora exappendiculata, Amuri tepui:  Heliamphora folliculata, Murosipan tepui (again!):  Heliamphora sarracenioides and H. sp. Akopan (I broke the upper part a few days ago while I was doing a bit of trimming... :evil: :lol: .   Now, everything is neat and tidy:   Heliamphora thrive in my conditions between march and june. I can't wait! François. |
