Heliamphora sarracenioides x minor Black Burgundy

Heliamphora have a reputation for being difficult, but I’ve had good luck so far growing on a windowsill, even in my very dry climate. She gets lots and lots of light!

Bonus utricularia sandersonii and u. calycifida in the background

Take some feeding picks please! Or maybe a video?!

You can watch me feed them diluted fertilizer with an eyedropper 😅. If I ever catch a bug falling in I’ll definitely upload a video though!
