Paul O'Keeffe Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Got a fabulous Heli from Nigel Hewitt-Cooper. Pitchers are empty of water so simply top up with distilled water but how much water? As much as it can take or a small amount in the bottom?

Tropfrog Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Not that I am an expert on heliamphora. But as far as I understand the climate on the tepuis it rains a lot more than the plant can hold. If you look at your plant it has a open slit from top down. That is where the water leave the plant when it gets too much. I would think that copy nature would not go wrong? IE filling up until water pours out that slit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul O'Keeffe Posted September 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I was thinking along the same line but thought to ask just in case indoor growing may throw up something different but I'll go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Just fill up the traps, any excess comes out of the hole and slit. NHC sells some really good plants, he is a top bloke and he answers your emails. Cheers Adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
