Heliamphora collina, formerly known as "H. sp. Foothill Testigos

[Raymond Chong]

Plant courtesy of @Labine early April. I accidently broke off 1 pitcher unpackaging the plant which I placed into some water to see what will happen.
I prefer LFS and perlite for my Helis but only had peat moss, perlite and some orchid bark on hand. This plant seems to like it well enough currently and has picked up some growth steam for May.
I like how the growth emerges sideways and then grows upward.

2 months later and she grew another pitcher. I think she likes the conditions I'm providing.

When I received this plant back in April, a pitcher had broken off while I was unpacking it. I remembered an experiment that @WillyCKH had posted some time ago regarding rooting pitchers in water so popped this pitcher into a pot Willy sent me and then popped that into a take-out container with some water and then bagged it. I placed the whole thing at he back of the growing shelf and forgot about it. Come today, I was cleaning up some stuff and thought I'd take a peek expecting a glob much but was surprised to see a root.

Any thoughts on how long I should wait to try and pot this little guy up?

Hi Raymond. What is the way you provide cooler temperature?

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

You can pot it into live LFS if you have any.

Hi Raymond. What is the way you provide cooler temperature?

Hi William. I'm growing my plants in the basement under LED lights so the warmest it gets is about 24C and then a few degrees cooler at night.

Thanks Lloyd. I have a few pots with live LFS growing on top. For this tiny pot, I should be able to cut enough off to fill it.

And the update to the second pitcher grown so far.....looks very nice. Opened fully and nice shape.

Oh I see^_^Thank you！

This guy is so confused. Mature pitcher. Semi-mature pitcher. Baby pitcher. Flower inflorescence.
Hope it is not a death knell last chance blooming.

I often have plants that grow immature pitchers from a different growth point.
