The king of them all! A must-have for any Heliamphora serious collector. 

HELIAMPHORA

KNOW STUFF

Heliamphora thrive in true highland conditions, with an exception being Heliamphora ciliata which is regarded as the only "lowland" growing form. In its natural habitat, H. ciliata can be found growing in sub-montane regions north-east of Aprada Tepui in the Gran Sabana at around 900 meters in elevation.

  
TEMPERATURE  &  HUMIDITY:
 DAYS:                        NIGHTS:
 • 68-80 ℉                 • 45-60 ℉
 • 65- 90%  rh           • 85-95%  rh

 
 
SOIL  &  WATER:

Various soil configurations can be used to best support your growing conditions and reduce the risk of rot. We recommend repotting only when necessary as this genus dislikes root disturbance.

• Well-draining tall plastic pots are a great choice.
• Avoid using fertilized soil products such as the Miracle-Gro brand.
• Many combinations can be used with similar results but a good "go-to" soil blend is equal parts long-fiber sphagnum moss and perlite

Keep the soil damp using a low TDS water source such as R/O or distilled water.

• Our preferred method is to "tray-water" while allowing the tray to completely dry in between waterings.
  We "top-water" 1x per week allowing the excess to partially refill the tray up to about 1/2".
  The height of the water may need to be adjusted depending on your pot/plant size.

LIGHTING:

• Full spectrum T5/LED lighting with a 12-15 hour photo-period is a great option for the indoor grower.
  
• Bright filtered light

 AIR CIRCULATION:

• Adequate air-circulation around the plant is critical in preventing crown-rot, mold and fungal infections.
  

FEEDING:

While the plant is actively growing, foliar feed 1-2x per month. In colder months when the plant has slowed in growth, feed 1x per month. Supplemental feeding may not be necessary if your plant is able to naturally feed in your environment.

• Mix 1/4 teaspoon of MaxSea fertilizer per 1 gallon of RO or distilled water and apply by foliar method.
  We suggest adding to older pitchers to keep the newest pitchers looking nice and fresh!
  
• For smaller plants, very lightly mist the pitcher surface with the diluted mixture taking care to avoid overspray
  accumulation in the soil.

DORMANCY:

• No dormancy is required, however, during the winter months growth may slow with the decrease in daylight hours.
