As with my H. minor this Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor was also badly neglected so I gave it the same treatment and repotted into a Super Long Tom (10 x 10 x 17) and it's looking a lot happier. The plant comes in handy when the Garden Chafers - Phyllopertha horticola infest the roses and many other plants in spring. The Dionaea get their share but they just don't have enough traps that early in the year.  These Super Long Toms are coming in very handy  |

It's looking like the super long tom and standing in a water tray is acceptable to this plant. Cracked it   |

The plant is progressing really well. I wish I'd thought of the super long toms earlier. However, I've suddenly found it to be a bit more difficult to water that tray and the pitchers than previously.  |

The plant is coming on by leaps and bounds. To think a few months ago it was heading for the bin.  |

Looking good Fred, will you move it inside when winter hits hard?
Where do you get your long tom pots from out of interest?

The 10th of December and this is what I find in the top greenhouse.  Most plants will be going to sleep and this chappy decides it's a great time to send up an inflorescence. It's a very nice thought but I don't think it will be successful. |

It's now the 22nd of January and this inflorescence is surprising me. If anything it's looking healthier than it did in December.  There again, so far we've not had the much promised hard winter. |

Still progressing with two buds now showing from the bracts. I cant help thinking it's going to say "feed me" from this angle.  |

It's like waiting for a fused kettle to boil  . I don't think this predicted cold spell will speed things up.  |
