Also, I just went back and did my research. This plant was a two-leaved seedling in early May of 2006. It's not quite three years old. The dish is about 75 mm (3 in.) deep and about 180 mm ( 7 in.) in diameter.

I ended up repotting my Heliamphora Chimantensis. I didn't want to take a risk of killing the plant.... it's the only one i've got. Once it gets bigger i'll play scientist. They seem to be relatively fast growing plants. How often do your plants put out a new leaf?

jrod - congratulations on a very well grown plant. That is very impressive growth in such a short time.
Do you (or did you) fertilise.

I do fertilize this plant when I have the time. Usually this takes the form of a weak orchid fertilizer solution poured into the pitchers using an eye dropper. I haven't fertilized it in the past 6 months, but it continues to put on strong growth.

My opinion is with Brian's. I've seen mine suddenly start to go downhill when they just start to get pot-bound (roots winding around the bottom). In addition. I have taken to using deep plastic (drilled) clear drinking cups for some of the medium-sized plants I have, and H. minor, in particular, even though it currently is pretty small on top (due to recovering from earlier tank problems) shows roots actively growing 2/3 of the way down (about 4").-kby
