🌿 Heliamphora — carnivore from Tepui mountains
Heliamphora (popularly known as "sun pitchers") are unique carnivorous plants native exclusively to Tepui mountains of Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil — isolated high-altitude rock platforms. Pitcher leaves catch insects by making them slide inside, where bacteria and digestive enzymes break them down for nutrients.
They are extremely rare plants, specific to the cool and humid climate of Tepuis. Colors vary from green to intense red, depending on species and light received. An exceptional collector's piece for carnivorous plant enthusiasts.

What are Tepui mountains?
Tepuis are 1500-3000 m high rock plateaus located in Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil. Geographically isolated, they host unique ecosystems with many endemic species, including Heliamphora.
How to care for Heliamphora?
Strong light (good grow lamp), humidity 70-95%, temperatures 15-25°C day and 8-15°C night, distilled water ONLY, sphagnum + perlite substrate.
Does it need cool nights?
Yes, Heliamphora loves day/night temperature differences. Night at 8-15°C is ideal, simulating high-altitude Tepui climate. Without night cooling, the plant weakens.
Is it toxic?
No, Heliamphora is not toxic to cats, dogs or children. Pitchers cannot harm large animals, and digestive substances are weak and harmless externally.
What water do I use?
ONLY distilled, rainwater or reverse osmosis water. Tap water contains minerals that kill the plant in weeks/months. Most critical rule for all carnivorous plants.
