Just curious if people turn their Heliamphoras upside down or clean it with a tray of water when they repot.
I just have this gross image of my mind of all the junk that comes out. lol.

lol

I suggest to just remove the pots for cleaning.
Turning your helis upside down is not the end of the world, but your pitchers will lose their nutritive 'soup'.
If you do this, dont forget to add water inside each pitcher after the cleaning/repotting.

Hope this help!

I wouldn't turn them upside Down either it's not necessary.
All that stuff in there is food for the plant.
