Sockhom Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hello, Here are a few pictures for Sarraceniaceae addicts. I had to rearrange my two Heliamphora tanks as several plants are becoming quite large... My biggest plant is my H. folliculata from Murosipan Tepui which begins to look like wild plants. The flowers of this species are huge! Heliamphora heterodoxa, Gran Sabana: Heliamphora exappendiculata, Amuri tepui: Heliamphora folliculata, Murosipan tepui (again!): Heliamphora sarracenioides and H. sp. Akopan (I broke the upper part a few days ago while I was doing a bit of trimming... . Now, everything is neat and tidy: Heliamphora thrive in my conditions between march and june. I can't wait!

flycatchers Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Very very nice plants & setup François I recognise the hair line crack from some of my plants!! Are the terrariums customised by you? I like the idea of the sliding glass front. Pity I have not seen anything like that over here. cheers bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel O. Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi François, back again? Great looking Heliamphora, really wonderful. It seems so as if they did not missed you at all while you have not been at home. I hope your Drosera are also in good condition. Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vraev Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 spectacular Francois. Paradise in a box. Astounding. I could loose myself by sitting on front of those and watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hello, I'm glad you like the plants! Bill, those terrariums with sliding doors are easily available here. The hard thing is to find the one with the good dimensions. Daniel, some of my plants always look better when I'm away ;-) My Heliamphora are grown in my garage. Tempratures are quite low, between 7°C and 18 °c. The winter has been a bit too long and plants like H. ciliata and "Tequila" are waiting for spring and summer. My set up is very simple: a lots of light and plants placed in a non isolated garage. I use peat, gravel and sand as a mix, the very same recipee I use for my Sarracenia. ;-) My Drosera don't look that good at the moment (they're just OK to me) because the day temperatures have been too low for too long. They are starting to grow nicely again. I shall post some pictures quite in spring. Cheers, François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr D. Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Beautifull Heliamphora you have there! The overview is very pleasing. How to turn a garage into oasis of peace I would say ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
