Top Tip:
The Heliamphora, also called the Sun Pitcher Plant, is one of the most striking carnivorous plants you can grow. Native to the highlands of Venezuela and Brazil, it produces elegant pitchers that attract insects with nectar before trapping them inside. This clever adaptation allows the plant to thrive in nutrient-poor soils while giving it a dramatic and unusual appearance that makes it a real centrepiece in any collection.
To grow well, Heliamphora need bright light, cool stable temperatures below 25°C, and consistently moist soil that drains freely. High humidity is essential for pitcher development, so regular misting or a terrarium setup is recommended. Always water with rainwater or demineralised water, never tap, as they are sensitive to minerals. Feeding is simple — the plant will usually catch insects itself, but you can offer a small insect occasionally. With the right care, this delicate but rewarding species will flourish, producing beautiful pitchers that may develop rich colours in strong light.
