Heliamphora Scylla

Heliamphora ‘Scylla’ - The Siren of Sun Pitchers That’ll Lure You In!

Dive into danger (the fun kind) with Heliamphora ‘Scylla’, the mythical monster of carnivorous plants that’s equal parts enchanting and devious! Named by the plant-naming maestro Ivan Bogdanov after the legendary sea beast who snagged sailors with her six heads, this registered cultivar is a seductive hybrid that traps bugs like they’re auditioning for a Greek tragedy. Towering up to 2 feet with elegant, elongated pitchers that glow in vibrant greens and subtle flushes of crimson, Scylla whispers sweet nectar from her spoon-like tips—then BAM! Dinner’s served.

Bred by the carnivorous plant wizardry of Wistuba, this beauty’s a cross of highland heavyweights like H. ionasi and H. nutans, blending robust vigor with a sassy, swirling form that’s straight out of tepui folklore. She’s the perfect temptress for your humid terrarium or sun-drenched greenhouse, thriving in bright light, constant moisture, and that cool, misty vibe—think eternal spring on a Venezuelan mountaintop, minus the jet lag.

Warning: Once Scylla sets her hooks in your collection, you’ll be dodging her siren call for more. Grab this green gorgon now and let her devour the ordinary in your carnivorous crew—because who needs Odysseus when you’ve got pitcher plant perfection?
