Heliamphora Mickey
Tall, elegant pitchers with soft colour and flowing form.
Released in limited numbers. Not always available.
Heliamphora ‘Mickey’ (H. ionasi × H. elongata) is a graceful hybrid prized for its height, clean lines, and gentle colour transitions. Upright pitchers rise with a smooth, elongated profile, often showing fresh green bodies softly washed with bronze and finished with subtle red tones around the nectar spoon.
The influence of elongata brings height and slender form, while ionasi adds strength, balance, and a slightly broader presence. Together, they create a plant that feels elegant rather than dramatic, with a calm, architectural look that improves steadily as the clump 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.
Growth is measured and reliable. Over time, pitchers become taller, more refined, and increasingly uniform, making this a rewarding plant for collectors who enjoy watching gradual refinement.
Why We Love It
Elegant Pitcher Shape:
Tall, upright pitchers with smooth lines and a natural flow.
Balanced Parentage:
The height of elongata paired with the stability of ionasi.
Soft, Refined Colouration:
Fresh greens with gentle bronze and red highlights that deepen with maturity.
Steady Growth Habit:
Predictable development that rewards patience and consistency.
Limited Availability:
Produced in small numbers and not always available.
Potential Pitcher Height
Under optimal conditions and with maturity, pitchers may reach approximately 25–40 cm in height.
Actual size 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.
