Hi,

HELIAMPHORA HETERODOXA:
I have an heliam which has been sent to me by mail. When it arrived it had
only a little sort of brown stick of about 1cm and roots. Now I had planted
it in 60% peat+ 40% sand and keep it in the shade, but it is always looking
dead but I saw that the roots might not be dead since there are little green
parts...what must I do????

CEPHALOTUS FOLLICULARIS
the cephalotus has also been sent to me by mail and at first its leaves were
alive, but now they all dried up and today I saw that among the roots it has
a green one so I cutted the dead leaves and planted the roots in pure
sphagnum and keep it in the shade as usual. Any suggestions????

DROSERA WHITTACKERII
how must I treat my small d.whittackerii regarding dormancy. I mean when
does it need dormancy, what must I do....HELP
Here in Italy it's summer but the plant comes from South Africa where it is
now winter so the plant might be using Sout African's seasons!!!!!
Now it is about 1cm tall, it has a couple of leaves, is planted in 70% and +
30% sphagnum peat and is under direct sun.

Any suggestion are appreciated :.))
thanks in advance
ciao ciao
