I have found that nightime drops in temperature of 5-10 degrees is fairly essential with this genus. Although they can take warm (or even hot) conditions during the day, they really need that night time refresher of cool humidity.
H. minor is a personal favorite. Good luck with your new adventure!
I am going to show my ignorance here..."What , AGAIN Joe!??"
I see you are from New Zealand. Aren't your temps pretty mild anyway, or am I wrong on that?
I think you would be able to grow this pretty successfully. Heliamphora grow really well in 2:1 perlite/peat, but you could use your local sphagnum moss too. They like it wet with drainage, though I have seen them grown well sitting in water. Probably the cp that responds best to fertilization, from what I hear. Never done it myself.
ok thanks i will sit it on my cool window sill where i grow lowii
& sibuyanensis on the tray system should be ok rite?
my usuall humidity out side is around 70 under or higher depends on the day
I am currently growing a moinor x heterodexa, that I got from Pryo, and it is receiving days of around 80F*, down to about 60-65F* at night with 50%-about 70or 75% at all times, with a good air flow.
Be careful with the standing of them in a water tray. The roots do not want to be compacted or submerged in any way: they need oxygen about them, so too sodden a mix using LFS is not good. Keep the pitchers filled.
I would'nt set them in water trays do over head watering their roots will rot if sitting in deep water. Good luck H. minor is a great first Heliamphora.
I just recieved a hemorphillia too and was wondering what the ideal night temps should be. Reading on the internet, some plants should have a night time temp of 35-55* every day, is it true?
I grow my h. minor lowland. I always thought you grew them highland,but Jeremiah told me to grow it lowland and its working great! Just open the tank daily to let some air circulate.
Hemp is NOT the same as pot. Though it can be. Most varieties of hemp do not have that "special" chemical in them. That is why it is legal to eat (inspected) hemp seed and process the fibers. Look up the use of hemp in early American history. You may find it quite interesting.
Oppps... sorry for the wrong abbriviation of hemorphillia... I was in a rush so the wording came out a little weird. Sounds kind of cool though...(LOL)
