I know it's a common plant, but I wanted to post a pic of my first H. minor:  I'm surprised that it's already got mature pitchers, even though it's barely even 2 inches tall! Even more, it has 6 growth points on it. |

Heck everyone and their dog has tried to grow a venus flytrap but they are still super cool! |

By the way, how long have you had it? Was it shipped bareroot or in that pot?

What I meant by common plant is it's one of the most common Heliamphora grown. I have had it for only a couple of days, and it did come in that pot, but it has shown growth in that time already.

I figured that's what you meant, I was just kidding around. In my book helis are all cool. Common or not- you can't go wrong with a heli- good choice! And H. minor has been a pretty good grower for me. Keep an eye out for a hybrid called H. tequila! Those are amazing looking plants and they grow very well! I think they might actually have some H. minor genetics but I dont recall for sure. I think the original person who did the cross never specified what it was but I could be wrong. You have a great looking plant there! Larger than mine in fact. Best of luck- you're going to be hooked in no time! |

I'm already hooked, looking at possibly bidding on the ebay plants in the future, if I can. I have sen pics of the tequila, and if I have the money and the chance, there's no way I'll skip out.
