wistuba helis can be a challenge for a newbie..... just a heads up, bag them till you see new growth
congrats on beginning Luca's big heli adventure :P
Ok so as some of you know, I am setting up a new terrarium specifically for heliamphora. I ordered the supplies already and they are coming now. I will be posting pictures of the plants I get and the stuff I use for my setup. As of last night Wistuba has contacted me, telling me that my shipment has been sent, my order consisted of;
Heliamphora minor
Heliamphora heterodoxa
Heliamphora heterodoxa x nutans
Heliamphora nutans (Yuruani Tepui)
Heliamphora chimantensis (Chimanta)
Heliamphora pulchella (Amuri Tepui)
I am also receiving H. tequila in a trade, won a H. het x minor in a giveaway, and currently making a deal with a member of this forum for a H. neblinae. Wish me luck!![]()

That's a plethora of helis! Good luck with the the set up!
Thanks Butch and jbradt. just a quick update, the trichoderma came today and she was kind enough to give me some granular mix with the flowable. I also received the lighting today and should receive the last stuff tomorrow or friday. I will post pictures of the stuff later today. @Butch Should I just follow the instructions you have in the sticky thread? How long do you think they should be bagged?

yes... i do, and how long depends on way too many variables.... but usually a couple weeks.
open the bags and let them breathe a little each day, you dont want condensation reallly.
The oh so interesting picture of the fertilizers that came today

Hey...gotta get your K![]()
Just a quick update, I set up the terrarium so far. It is still a work in progress and will be fiddling with it. I will be adding more stuff as well so this isnt the final product. Will be adding another light and etc. So far the temps and humidity arent bad.
On another note, I just repotted my droso...
Questions, comments, or concerns?
