Heliamphora Huberi (Angasima)
Elegant pitchers with rich colour and refined form.
Released in limited numbers. Not always available.
Heliamphora huberi (Angasima) is a distinctive species locality form from Angasima Tepui in Venezuela, where plants grow in constantly humid, mist-laden conditions with cool nights and bright, diffused light. These environments favour plants with strong posture, refined structure, and a naturally elegant growth habit.
In cultivation, the Angasima form stands out for its composure and colour potential. Pitchers rise upright with smooth, slightly broader profiles than typical huberi, often starting fresh green before developing warm bronze, copper, and soft red tones under good light. The nectar spoon is typically more pronounced, adding visual interest without overpowering the overall form.
Rather than being showy, this is a plant that impresses through balance and refinement, steadily developing into a handsome, well-proportioned specimen as it matures.
This offering is a division, meaning the plant is genetically identical to the parent. As a result, growth habit, form, and colour are more consistent, with less variation compared to seed-grown plants
Why We Love It
Distinct Locality Form:
The Angasima population is prized for its refined structure and colour potential.
Clean, Upright Growth:
Elegant pitchers with smooth lines and strong posture.
Enhanced Colour Expression:
Bronze and red tones develop readily under bright, diffused light.
Classic Highland Character:
A true reflection of misty, high-elevation tepui conditions.
Collector Appeal:
A beautiful and less common form of a well-respected species.
Potential Pitcher Height
Under optimal conditions and with maturity, pitchers may reach approximately 20–35 cm in height.
Actual size and colour will vary depending on growing environment, plant age, and individual genetics.
Care Summary
Difficulty: Intermediate
Bright, diffused light · 70–90% humidity · Day 18–27 °C / Night 10–15 °C · Pure water preferred (RO or rainwater)

Important
Each plant displays natural variation. Individual specimens may differ in colour, form, and pitcher height.
Temperature and humidity ranges are guidelines only. These plants can tolerate short periods outside the ideal range, provided conditions return to stable levels.
