This species can tolerate higher temperatures than most, due to its mainly lowland origins. Heliamphora heterodoxa produces pitchers that are usually between 10cm and 20cm (4” and 8”) tall and exhibits a large, overhanging, slightly pointed nectar spoon.

Heliamphora need bright light, with high humidity. They tend to grow slowly but are magnificent plants.
