Best for the experienced grower.
This hybrid was bred by the fine growers at Exotica Plants in Australia around 2005. Many seedlings found their way to the United States. Once all seedlings were sold, obtaining a specimen was very difficult. As of date, EP hasn't done this cross again. We recently acquired a clone and are glad to include this plant in our collection. The plant is a complex hybrid, Heliamphora (glabra x nutans) x (heterodoxa x minor). It produces an elegantly shaped nectar spoon with delicate shadings of red. The upper portions of the pitcher will develop even more color with bright lighting. Overall, this plant is graceful.
