Heliamphora "lowland"
 

I just check the wistuba website and they are having the hemliamphora "lowland". They said that the plants grow below 1000 meter high. :laugh: This is really great, the hemliamphora can grow without cooler. Check in HERE .

Great!!!......but 5000 eur????!!!!That's crazy man!Better to buy a HL heliamphora and let it acclimate!

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

50euro marvin not 5000euro

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

Ooh....can they ship to other countries?But it's also expensive.Two hundred plus?

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

well if you grow plants in terratium it will cost a lot of money in electric for cooler lowland heliamphora is better.

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

Nice plant! Pinkish and not so high. Looks like a good buy to me.

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

too expensive .

if you want others 'lowland' , for me the 'lowland' term is not appropriate
1000 m compared with the plain it is already high ,take a heterodoxa gran sabana or a new species H.sp low meadow

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

i do believe the 'lowland' forms actually grow around cool springs

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

But do they still need high humidity?Probably isn't it....

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

for the heterodoxa gran sabana for example 'in situ':

less humid than the tepui top but a great hygrometry ( marshy condition)

rainfall just 600 mm in some station

in the tepui bottom you have often 24-28 °c with during the dry saison several peaks to 30°c.

not any shade also

Jeff,you know alot about heliamphora don't you?

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

when you cultivate some plant ( for me heliamphora-pinguicula -stylidium- ant plants -dorstenia) you must know also their ecology 'in situ' .

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

Well, I still like lowland heliam because electricity really expensive in Vietnam and to cool down a grow chamber cost a lot of energy.

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

The plant sold as "H. sp. low meadow" and Wistuba's "H. sp. Lowland" are the same plant.
It will have a name very soon (in december).

Truly,

François.

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

thanks for the infos FRANÇOIS :1thumbup: ;I did not know that Wistuba proposed the same one as Extrem planthttp://www.extreme-plants.eu/ under other name .indeed if the photographs are looked , they seem very near
unfortunately not by the price

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

TranMinh, I agree with you that lowland helis are fairly easy to maintain provided they have high humidity and good ventilation. Cooling/Air conditioning at night is a bonus but I don' seem to think it necessary.

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

all the heliamphora have need : good aeration, good hygrometry , good light from december to march , good temperature.


for me no "lowland " species in the genus heliamphora .

600 to 1000 m in europe , asia, andine country are considered like a montain strage ( in french etage collineen )

in tropical country it is a hill land , here it is the foothills of the tepuis
sometimes wet areas or a altitude savanna like this gran sabana

Wistuba are sale it

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

for me it is a error .

the lowland area are neer the coast from 0 to 600 m for instant no heliamphora in this zone , too warm.

if the "sp lowland" it realy a "sp low meadow" their definitive name is H.ciliata

see here their particularity http://fern72.free.fr/siteweb/heliamphora.html

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

show more latest pics of your helis Mr.Jeff :)
i love seing good helis been grown good in human cultivation :)

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

I think the bigger issue here is whether the 'lowland' Heliamphora can actually grow under lowland conditions, especially the extreme lowland conditions of typical outdoor Singapore and Malaysia which are very warm indeed.

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

my friend from pontianak can grow heliamphora tequila.
but after a year, the heli died

Re: Heliamphora "lowland"
 

see on my web site their natural condition (light;temperature;hygrometrie;etc) , you can see also some of mine

here in FRANCE all my heliamphora are cultivate in door in a big terrarium closed , with a aeration ( just lid lift up 5mm)

substrate : blond peat -vermiculite 50/50 or now with some species just perlite -sphagnum.Attention the 2 substrate are not interchangeable ( the root are not the same with the 2 substrate )

hygrometrie : always 80-90% the pot always in 3 cm of water

light : in front of a south window , very very good light from december to march

temperature : in winter the day 19-22 °c the night 12-19 °c ;in summer the day 22-25°c with some time some pic to 30°c the night 18-20°c
