Heliamphora, the Marsh Pitchers

Perhaps the best way to describe Heliamphora is enigmatic. Related to more familiar plants like the North American pitchers, but uniquely shaped and hailing from cloud-veiled lands in tropical South America. Sometimes difficult to tell apart species to species, and potentially with diversity that has barely been touched just because of how hard it is to get to where they grow. This video is a general overview of the genus and how they function, how to grow them.

A joy to watch! Heliamphoras do not get a lot of spotlight... a wonder so see some!

Very nice collection. I didn’t know the genus well and I thought that all species are very small. Those sky Islands of South America are magical places that should be more explored.

I had them on a South-facing 3rd floor windowsill over the winter, and even though they got direct sunlight every day, they were definitely sad with the short photoperiods in Denmark.
Tossed them into a super big terrarium with water reservoir in the bottom, PC fans for air circulation, and a 2/3 cover plexiglas lid for humidity while allowing hot air to vent. Put a Migo Aray 4 on 60% power suspended above on a 12-hour photoperiod. Man, they took off. I have way too much growth after just two months!
