Hope you manage to! Because otherwise you may have to order from Wistuba like I did and that ain't cheap. I had to save up for a long time for it, heh.

When I first got it, it had mostly immature pitchers, but was starting to grow mature ones. It kept on producing mature pitchers and never went back to producing immature ones, except for the baby clumps popping up from the base. Reverting back to immature pitchers is a sign that the plant is stressed, usually heat stress over here. In my earlier attempts to grow Helis, they usually reverted back to immature pitchers and after hanging in there for a few months, died off.

This one is not bagged, but I do use a humidity shield: place other things and plants around and very close to it to keep humidity around it high. I have tried to bag Helis to maintain humidity levels before, but they usually die from rot at the base after a while. Thus I now don't bag the plants anymore.
