Heliamphora & other jewels of my highland terrarium

Hi all,

It has been a while since I showed pictures of my set-up, so I have decided to launch this thread.
Here we go.

Heliamphora tatei {Cerro Huachamachare} :


Heliamphora tatei {Cerro Marahuaka} :


Heliamphora neblinae {Cerro Neblina} :


Heliamphora glabra {Wei Tepui}. I have accidentally broken one growing point recently . I'm going to try my 'highest cutting' ever :


Heliamphora purpurascens {Ptari Tepui} :


Heliamphora elongata {Karaurin Tepui} :


Heliamphora sarracenioides {Ptari Tepui} :


Heliamphora minor var. pilosa {Auyan Tepui} :


Heliamphora minor "Giant" {Aonda, AuyanTepui} :

Deserving a special highlight, as it is currently blooming in my terrarium for the first time, Utricularia campbelliana {Wei Tepui} :






More to come :


Not really a highland plant, but getting well as I have never been truly successful with this species, Pinguicula planifolia :



Cheers
Vince

Stunning pics :-)

Thank you guys :).

Just to share a 17 pictures stack of U. campbelliana. I'm quite new with this photography technique, but satisfied enough with the result :) :

[corky]

now that is a great pic

[Jardimanche]

Really impressive your plants Vince! Congrats for the growing and the flowering of this Utri!

I especially like the last pictures with a nice 3D!!

Thank you :).

 

I especially like the last pictures with a nice 3D!!

I used to try focus stacking with Drosera, but I found it harder : the reflection in the droplets spoiled most of my pictures. I should give it a try once again. BTW, I hope your problem with czplants has begging to be settled down.

[Vince81]

A Pinguicula sp. Guatemala 2000m. Don't know whether this plant has been named. If anyone does, he is welcome to tell about :).

 

Utricularia campbelliana's doing well :

 

Utricularia mannii too :

[Daniel O.]

Hello Vince,

 

congratulations, really very well grown Heliamphora.

And the U. cambelliana is absolutely awesome.

 

Best regards,

Daniel

[Zlatokrt]

Stunning! I see you grow U. campbelliana similarly as i do, at least it looks similar. I have an epiweb piece bended in the pot and covered by a thin layer of mosses (max. 1 cm), where the campbelliana grows - do you grow it like that too?

[Vince81]

Hey Dani, it has been a while, thank you :).

 

Thank you Zlatokrt. Actually, I don't really grow it 100% like yours : mine is in a small square pot of 5x5cm, in a typical substrate based on peat moss, sand and perlite. The moss came spontaneously, and is the result of the time. I haven't manipulated my plant for 2-3 years, just letting it grow. I'm considering putting some on the xaxim that I have in my terrarium too :).

superb vince !! ;)

 

[Fernando Rivadavia]

Interesting Ping, would love to see more pics! The flower looks somewhat intermediate between that of moranensis and orchidioides. Does it produce stolons like orchidioides?

 

 

Thanks!

Fernando Rivadavia

[Vince81]

Thanks for your interest Fernando. The full name of this plant is : Pinguicula sp. Guatemala {Chichicastenago, 2200 m} [bCP ID# P534, P537]

 

I don't have many pictures of this plant at the moment.

Here is when the flower was ageing :

 

Another one, sleeping :

 

A smaller one :

 

I haven't seen any stolons yet.

Your plants are absolutely amazing, congratulations. See your set-up is like an in situ observation.

Just staggering Vince. Do you repot your plant every year?

I'm asking because I didn't repot mine for about 4/5 years, a mistake I believe.

Cheers,

François.

[Maciej Stelmach]

Your plants are in perfect condition and pictures are breathtaking. I'm totally jealous :) It seems that each and every species is thriving!

[Gauthier]

Your plants are unbelievable, some of the best Heliamphora I've seen so far!

 

Congratulations, Vince!

[Vince81]

Thank you for the kind comments.

François, I do not repot my plants on a regular basis. Actually, I'm not used to repotting them, unless there is something particular, as it is in the present case.

Usually, once they are repotted right after their reception, I do not touch to them any longer. The less I manipulate them, the better I feel. Hopefully, so do my Heliamphora.
