Like no other pitcher plant
Not easy to find one of these for sale. Plant exceeded my expectations and is already making new pitchers. Love it!
This species is the tallest of all Heliamphora. In the wild, pitchers have been measured 2-3 tall. However, in cultivation, plants rarely grow larger than 18 inches. The pitchers remain cylindrical with a slight flare. The pitcher's interior remains green. A sunny greenhouse may be necessary to grow this plant taller than 12 inches. FOR THE EXPERIENCED GROWER.
