Default Re: Can We Grow Heliamphoras in Malaysia?

Hi......

Well normally heliamphoras are generally found at very very high elevations so temperatures up there are quite cool and windy but also retaining high humidity.And because its so windy and rough up there the traps are quite "strong" in texture.

Anyways like i said generally mpst heliams are in the highlands of the tepui mountains there are some which has adapted or in the wild are found at the base of this highland which means it will tolerate higher temps which is H.Minor and H heteredoxa as mentioned.So in my opinion this 2 will do best in our weather with some overhead watering with cooled water during the hot parts of the day :D
