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
