Yo Ben, my conditions are 85% humidity during the day and high 90's at night. Temps are high 70's during the day and low 60's at night. Well I dont know much about heli flowers... I know it takes skill to get the pollen.
Hey guys, well was looking at the collection today and noticed what I thought to be a pitcher but something different on my H. heterodoxa x minor.
So...is it a flower?
Thanks for any help.
Yes, you have a flower on hand and there should be others soon enough on the same scape! Congratulations and it is likely to send up a couple more. Mine have also been flowering a bit later this year year than in 2007 . . .
Yeah, leave it. The flowers are particularly cool looking, long-lasting (I had some for months in the past) and won't weaken the plant in any way -- unless you're planning on dividing it soon; in which case, the scapes are commonly removed to hasten rooting and recovery of the divisions . . .
The Savage Garden by D'Amato has some detailed info on how to pollinate Heliamphora, or at least I think so. I haven't seen my book for like over a year; I have no idea where it is.....
So yeah if ya have that book on hand, you should probably check it out if you want to bother getting seeds.
