WINTER: Please note temperate plants are dormant and will not look the same as pictured. Do not forget a heatpack if your temps are low! Especially for tropicals!



Heliamphora (Sun Pitcher Plant) Care Guide

Posted by Vincent Green on

This is a general care guide - it will be updated later for specific species.


Water:

Distilled, Reverse Osmosis, Rain or water with TDS under 100.

Keep media moist, the pot can sit in water so as to need little maintenance.

Light:

Medium light, these plants should receive around 10 hours of bright light.

Pitchers should get larger each time, aside from offshoots.

Temp:

Nearly all heliamphora are highland plants, the ideal temp range is daytime: 70-80 degrees, nighttime: 65 degrees. You can operate outside of this, but keep these numbers in mind.

Media:

Long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite 1:1. Live sphagnum is also great if you have it.
