This is another new arrival sent my way from Avery.  As well, Corky keeps the exact same clone, and his are at a larger flowering size. (See Corky's plants in the link below.)  fredg.boards.net/thread/389/corkys-heliamphoraIt's good to have a reference for what these can grow up to be, but meanwhile...  One of the older pitcher is beginning to fade, and if it has to go down, it won't do so without a good bite first. So last night, that browning pitcher was fed a belly full of freeze-dried bloodworms.  And then while at it, all of the Heli pitchers were fed as well.  Corky, i forget to ask you how you feed you clone. Have you tried any orchid ferts with yours? Cheers, Doug dvg |

Yes I use orchid focus at half strength ,watered with it but not in a regime, more when I remember, I soak my air plants in it then water my pings and helis with the water and fert after so not to waste

Not sure if that bloodworm feeding has helped or not, but there is new pitcher growth emerging.  It's easier to see from the other side.  And a closer peek at the new rising pitcher trio.  dvg |

Well whether the blood worm are doing the trick or not you must be doing something right ,a trio of new pitchers is a fine start i'd say ,nicely done |

Thanks Corky.
Hopefully, in two to three year's time, these will begin to look as good as your clone's clump.

The pitcher rising in the previous pic has now taken over as the tallest of the bunch.  This Heli clump is my most vigorous clone,  steadily pushing out new pitchers.  dvg |

I think I received a division of the same plant from Avery in September 2021. You guys have set the bar high. Going to try and feed some blood worms. dvg, the growth you achieved in such a short time is amazing!
