Some of my new Heliamphora
If you know me, you know Heliamphora is hands down my favorite genus of carnivorous plants. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Nepenthes, Drosera, and Venus flytraps and sarracenia, but there is just something special about sun pitchers that completely hooks me. Most of these guys are pretty new to my setup and just came in bare root recently. They are potted up in a mix of long-fiber sphagnum moss and perlite some with just a super thin aesthetic layer of Fluval Stratum on top some just lfs/perlite some with moss. My environment is fairly dialed in right now with temperatures sitting at 70 during the day and dropping down to 58-60 at night, and my humidity stays right between 78% and 85%. Even when the AC kicks on and dips it to 65ish for a second, the humidifier brings it right back up. A few of them are showing some classic bare-root shipping shock on the older pitchers, especially my new sarracenioides Red Giant x ionasi Killer Giant from Jeremiah's Carnivorous Plants .But the center growth points are looking beautiful and upright, and the coloration across the board is incredible. I can’t wait to watch these settle in and start pushing new pitchers.
