Sun Pitcher Plants (Heliamphora)

Heliamphora tatei is one of the largest and most elegant species. Older specimens can form pitchers 1 foot tall; they can eventually develop a trunk as they grow, and they have large white flowers on rigid scapes.

We are so excited because these are the first new tatei clones in 20 years! 

Small plants are 1-3” tall, medium are 3-5” tall, and large plants are 6-8” tall. Each plant may only have a few pitchers, and they may be spotted with red. Don’t worry if your plant pitchers have the red splotches, they are not a sign of disease! 

Care Instructions
Sun & Temp: They can thrive in cool, well lit greenhouses or in terrariums under florescent light. They are temperature sensitive. Keep daytime temperatures no higher than 80 degrees. They do best with a drop in temp at night. Ideally down to the low 50s or even mid 40s. They appreciate bright light but be careful not to overheat.
Water: Water with distilled or purified water frequently, do not let the pots sit in water for long periods of time but be sure to keep the potting medium moist all the time
Dormancy: none needed
