Carnivorous and Bizarre: Heliamphora
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лют 2021
- Beyond the Nepenthes, Heliamphora are my second favorite genus in the carnivorous plant kingdom! They are related to the North American pitcher plants (Sarracenia) and Cobra lilies (Darlingtonia). They are endemic to the Tepui mountain ranges of Venezuela and Guyana. These massive table top mountains rise 3,300 feet - 10,000 feet above sea level. The habitats are rainy, cold and very bright. The day temperatures don’t rise much above 70F and the nights can dip down into the 30’s!
They do like to be kept cooler in cultivation but not as extreme as their wild counterparts. We find days no higher than 83F and nights are 60-64F Keep them more than happy. Most growers are using air conditioning units and specialized setups to grow their plants. They require the same care as highland Nepenthes, just a little brighter.

Hey Dominic can you please make a video on cephalotuses. Cuz I am having trouble caring for them
Love your passion for these plants.
So 2 things. Firstly, I want that t-shirt :-D
Secondly, I've come to accept that I'll never be able to grow these complex plants and make them thrive as they would in their natural extreme habitat. That being said, I love watching any youtube video on them. They're an absolute beauty! So thank you!
Love your channel
Awesome plant
Yet another great vid bro i love my heli's too
I have a Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor and im in love with it. Could You upload a vídeo showing the repotting or division?
I absolutely love these plants, I only have one at moment 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
10/10
Perfect video I want all lol
Oi, eu sou do Brasil e gosto muito do seu canal
Hi, I am from Brazil, I like your chanel a Lot
Beautiful! Now I want one....but I don't think they'd be happy in Florid. I have a question - grasshoppers are eating my Napenthes (the entire leaf including the pitchers) & Sarracenia. How do I keep them from eating my beautiful plants?
Heliamphora look the most alien put of all carnivorous plants in my opinion.

How to propagate pitcher plants by stems?
I have tried getting pollen from them, and I find it impossible! I wait till the flowers are open and I use a tune vibrator. They are inside humid terrariums. I wonder if it is the humidity that has the pollen sticking in and can’t come out even with vibration.
Do you have sarracenioides? Is it particular in any way? Does it divide often?
Now THAT'S a Trap House.
So beautiful! Hey I have a question for you guys. I have a typical nursery hybrid pitcher plant. Unfortunately the only place in my house where it gets enough light is our sun room. The room dips into the 40s and I'm afraid to overwater and rot my plants. I let her get way to dry at one point and there was die off on some of the stems. The interesting thing is, one vine crispy in the middle of the stem. Should I cut and propogate the part that looks alive? Or is this whole step alive, just a little ugly?
I had this too with my nep, it’s still growing above the brown part, but its putting most of its energy into pups growing off the lower stem near the peat.. So I would say yours is probably preparing to split and create pups
Can you give me heliamphora seed😁😁😁
I use the seeds to pay the greenhouse bills 😎 I never sell seed. I grow it and offer the plants. 😜
Cute gay guy, talking about a really beautiful tubular carnivore... I had to take the clickbait.... =3
More on-topic - I've always wondered what would happen when we feed these pitchers our human-consumed meats, such as chicken, beef, pork, ostrich, etc.
The pitcher dies
@@zay_rat8942 I'd like to see a candid video reference, please.
@@achen5689 I’m not sure what it is exactly, but carnivorous plants can’t consume stuff like hamburger meat, pork, all the meats were able to eat, this is especially bad for Venus flytraps
@@zay_rat8942 Being killed off by eating cooked meat, which is the natural product of human ingenuity and not that of plants/animals, is understandable. I get that hamburger meat and such likely wouldn't work well with flytraps.
(Not to mention that conventional cooked meats contain human synthetic elements that probably will kill vulnerable plants.)
I was speaking on natural organic *_raw_* meat from the wild. And, if the answer is still that such meat will kill a trap, I'd like to see a video demonstrating it; if you have it on you.
Please take note: a non-Heliamphora pitcher plant, per another youtube video, did demonstrate that it was able to consume a whole mouse(!!). That is a meat product, not an insect. This is what lead me to wonder if carnivorous plants can also consume (raw) animal meat.
