Calvin, Your theory about cv.Imperial is perhaps the good one ! With our subtropical climate they grow like crazy. Look at that clump only two years old from...
Hi Steve, That is H. bourgeana x collinsiana 'Pedro Ortiz'. Check it out here: http://www.heliconiasocietypr.org/pedro_ortiz.htm Bryan Puerto Rico ... named...
Hello All, I have 2 seedlings of Latispatha Mexican Gold grown from seeds collected from my garden (Heliconias hardly seeded in Malaysia but this one does.)....
Hi Faridah, It is a mutation, happens quite a bit in seedlings of many kinds of plants. Also happens a lot in tissue culture. Sort of an extreme form of...
Hi Bryan, Yes, I was thinking so that it will not live without chlorophyll. It is still growing though. Thanks for sharing the info. Faridah Bryan Brunner...
Hi Faridah, It is still living off the stored nutrition in the seed. The only way you could save it is to get it into tissue culture, where all of its...
Hello all, We took a quick road trip to San José, Costa Rica last week, and saw this picture-perfect H. latispatha by the side of the road. I'd love it if all...

Hi Bryan, Thanks for the advice. TC is too technical for me unless there is a specialist nearby. Faridah Bryan Brunner <brbrunner@...> wrote: Hi Faridah,...
Hello Martin, What an impressive vellerigera you have! I envy you - how I wish to have one like yours. BTW, I am from Johor Bahru, Southern Peninsular Malaysia...
Hello All, I am about to plant some heliconias and want to make right. I shall be grateful if any members of the board could advise me on the % of shades...
Hi Faridah, I don't know about curtispatha and clinophila, but aemygdiana likes some shade (40-80%) and moist conditions. Rodriguensis can probably take full...
Hello Faridah, H. clinophila likes good drainage and about 50% shade. It is a mid-elevation species, growing at 700 - 1000 meters, often in cloud forest. H....
You're welcome. There really wouldn't be much point growing it in tissue culture anyway, as you could probably never get it big enough to flower. That would...

Hello Bryan, Thanks for the valuable info. on the shading. At least I know that the helis will be getting the correct amount of light and not overexposed to...
Hi Martin, That's a nice collection - including the rare Carmalae and Excelsa. You did wonders to the clayey soil to produce those lovely gems. Hard work...
Hi Faridah, You're welcome. I have never seen marginata red, but I assume it would have the same adaptation to growing in swampy, wet soil. I'll try to get a...
Hi All While travelling in Amazonian Peru and Ecuador you see lots of H marginata growing along all waterways. They really need wet feet and end up growing...
Faridah I had grown marginata lutea in full sun here and they did well. Too well in fact, they can be a weed very quickly. I'd rhizomes coming up from the...
Hi Victor, It's good to hear on the Marginata's performance in the tropical climate. Are they invasive like Rostratas? Yes, I heard that aemygdianas need a lot...
Faridah I consider them to be much more invasive than rostrata. More like psittacorums. Victor faridah shafii <faridahshafii@...> wrote: Hi Victor, ...
Hi Victor, Wow, this is something for me to rethink about. I have just disposed all the Psittacorum hybrids (Guyana, Tropic, Nickeriensis and Golden Torch)...
Hello all, How long should I keep seeds before I give up on them and make room for something else in my germination area? I thought a year would be plenty for...
