I grow intermediate neps like:
ventricosa and maxima.

Could I grow heliamphora in the same conditions?

If so, which ones?

Thanks in advance!

Heliamphora grow in highland to utlrahighland conditions,so a little bit cooler then your intermediates should be fine,plus they need lots of light

Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor
Heliamphora heterodoxa x nutans
Heliamphora nutans

Thay should work fine

I agree with Dani. Helis grows well in highland and utlrahighland conditions. My grow well under these conditions together with Nep's but they are too green because my light is not sufficient for them. They prefer cooler climates and high humidity. So there is nothing complicated and you could easily grow them.

yes I grow my helil's in with my neps too, they do well in my conditions which are high land conditions

very good work guys on your big healthy Heliamphoras!
hope mine will turn out big like you both's

Everyone's Helis L K Great! Awesome growing!
Good Luck Bananaman!

Do any helis do well with a smaller temperature drop at night?

Thanks!

its not critical but it dose help , Heliamphora grow in altitudes of 2,000 to 3,000 meters above sea level,but the table lands have vertical cliffs that are between 400 and 1200 meters high so the plants live on top of these plateau's in full sun but the altitude temp's are very cool and night time is very cold , rainfall is extremely high , was told it rains most days and mist comes in all the time at any time very often , so clean fresh water is needed for these plant at all times,got a friend here in South Australia that uses RO water only his plants are astounding pic below dont know any one who grows heli's this big any where in the world !!sure there may be others but yet to see them !! a good feeding program is essential as well what ever you choose , but no ants !! only flying insects or flying incest lava !! light levels are all so essential as is the high humidity to grow these effectively

Thanks man.

I bet a smaller one should do fine in my terrarium, if they can tolerate a smaller temperature drop

Thanks Again!

i almost got a heart attack seing those big bunch of helis!!!!!holy fish!
