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' .

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"

unfortunately not by the price

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
