Heliamphora pulling method

[WillyCKH]

Hello everyone! I just want to share my experimental results with you regarding Heli pullings.
I took about 12 pullings of my Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor and put them in water. About half a year later, there is one shoot!
Base on my experiment, it is possible to propagate Heliamphora from pullings, but the success rate isn't very high and the time required is very long.

Waw that is long...

When I'm repotting, I often break pitchers off. I take the broken parts and bury them so they're just poking out of the live sphagnum. After a few months, they often grow roots and new pitchers.

yep im with Lloyd on that one , that water method seems a bit to long winded and low strike rate for me Willy ,

It was just an experiment. Now we know it's not an effective method, we can leave the pullings in live sphagnum moss.
