Got this puppy off of E-bay. Don't know if it is just called H. variegata or if it has a cultivar name. Anyone know? At any rate, I really like it and can't wait for it to get a little size on it. This is my first attempt at growing heliconias.

just a couple of tips about Heliconias.


1. they do not like cold.
2. need good draining soil. Rhizome will rot in very wet soil.
3. You will need a bigger pot in time. LOL.
Beautiful plant.Good luck.

Steelviper,
Thanks for the info. What you wrote backs up what I've been reading. Hearing that it needs well drained soil worries me a bit as I didn't do anything special to the soil to make it well drained. It's just a mixture of compost and potting soil. I'll just have to be careful with it.
