Identifying Heliamphora heterodoxa

Mystery Heliamphora Identified

A customer purchased a Heliamphora from Sarracenia Northwest years ago without a species label. Based on the purchase timeframe and a provided photograph, the plant is Heliamphora heterodoxa.

Growth Expectations

This species forms large clumps over time. The plant is healthy and thriving, indicating excellent care. Plan for repotting within the next year as it expands.

Care Reminders

• Bright, indirect light or partial sun.
• Cool nights (50–60°F) and mild days (70–80°F).
• High humidity (70%+) with good airflow.
• Mineral-free water; keep soil consistently moist.
• Use a well-draining mix of sphagnum moss, perlite, and orchid bark.

Continue current practices—your Heliamphora is clearly happy!
