Heliamphora heterodoxa
This plant arrived in fantastic health and out on 2 new pitchers within a month of receiving. The sun pitcher continues to do well in my warm house, I look forward to growing more from Sarracenia Northwest.
Adult specimens will produce pitchers 4-8 inches tall. The pitchers have a red margin and a slightly pointed spoon (or hood). FOR THE EXPERIENCED GROWER.
Plants You Receive
• Established rooted cutting from select mother plants.
• Acclimated for windowsill growing.
• Shipped in a 3.5-inch pot and meticulously packaged.
First photo is representative of the mother plant from which divisions were taken. Subsequent photos are representative of the batch of plants for sale.
For all divisions, we wait until there is at least one new open pitcher on a plant before offering it for sale. This takes a minimum of 6 -9 months, longer in some instances. To prep plants for sale, we cut off all pitchers that have significantly discolored during the acclimation process, so a plant might have fewer pitchers than normal. Some order leaves left on a plant may still be mildly discolored. This is a normal process as they age. Plants will develop a full set of pitchers within another 6-12 months.
