Laurent T Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hi, I just want to know whitch Heliamphora in your collection is growing the fastest and witch one is growing the slowest? Very slow Heli's in my collection are H. elongata from Ilu Tepui and H. tatei from Cerro Duida. The fastest Heli's are H. heterodoxa from Ptari Tepui and H. nutans (giant form) but H. pulchella from Chimanta is the number 1... Now I want to hear which experiences you have? Cheers, Laurent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Moller Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I would agree with you about H.elongata being quite slow. For me the fastest grower in my collection is H.folliculata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent T Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yes, I heard from many people that H. elongata is a slow grower. H. elongata needs colder nights then other Heliamphora species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlantaCollector Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I agree with Ben. H. elongata is slow grower, whereas H. folliculata is really fast. I have it (H. folliculata) for 5 years and despite of many mistakes I have done in cultivation, now it is large mature plant (25 cm pitchers in height) which have already flowered. Even H. heterodoxa I have for the same time is not as vigorous (have only 10 cm pitchers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Reolon Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 faster : H. ionasii x H. heterodoxa Fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hmmm.... What about H. minor, is it quite medium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loligo1964 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) I too would agree that Heliamphora elongata is on the slower side, so too H. hispida and H. sarracenioides; those fastest growing would include H. chimantensis, H. folliculata, H. glabra, H. pulchella, H. tatei, H. "Akopan," and the various natural and horticultural hybrids . . . Heliamphora heterodoxa x nutans Edited June 10, 2009 by loligo1964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
