heli care

any body no about how to take care of helis
 
Use the search feature! There's a whole wealth of information on these forums, and instead of waiting on other people to tell you, you could be getting information faster if you search yourself.
 
Here's some basic tips:
- Better too little water than too much! Grow them almost the same way as orchids. (This has worked for me at least...)
- Tons of light
- Airy soil (lots of perlite, lava rock, orchid bark, etc.)
- Warm days, cool evenings
- High humidity
- Search Feature :D
 
Heliamphora are hard to take care of without precise conditions and are rather fragile and not for the beginner (I'm so hypocritical, then again, I killed mine :poke:). The search feature is a handy fella as mentioned. High humidity, warm days, cool nights... the easier species are H. minor, H. heterodoxa and their hybrids.

Now...
