My juvenile Helaimphora heterdoxa is growing in a very well lit terrarium, where the temprature often exceeds 35 Centigrade.
I try to offset this by sitting my plant in its pot on top of a wet brick
along with my Nepenthes khasiana. This causes the humidity to be very high. The two Nepenthes are very healthy, and are producing new leaves.
The Heliamphora however, only has one healthy green pitcher on it ant
any one time. When a new pitcher starts growing, the old one changes
colour, and starts to die. I did read in Cheer's "Carnivorous Plants
of the World" that some Heli's do this when in less than ideal
conditions. Could this be why mine is doing this? I was also curious
about what temprature regeimes other people keep their plants under.
Thanks,
Russell Elliott
