Heliamphora size

How big can Heliamphoras grow? I like pulchella, so I am mostly interested in that specie. Seems I can't find information about their adult size. I have terrarium 40 cm high, so with peat, few cm distance from light source and all, I can't have large specie. So recommend me some smaller specie, if there is one

Both H. pulchella and H. minor stay pretty small and make good terrarium pets. I'd guess their pitchers rarely exceed 10 cm in height.

Yes, these species are very short, but beautiful
both 10-15cm with 17-18cm peaks.

How much room is enough from top of a plant to light?
