{"id":192,"count":0,"description":"Heliamphoras are remarkable carnivorous plants whose leaves are transformed into goblet-shaped traps tipped with a red appendage. In the upper parts of the pitcher, nectar glands lure insects, while the lower zones make escape impossible. These plants lack a lid, so excess rainwater is drained through a special slit or hole in the pitcher.\n\nThe digestion of captured prey occurs mainly thanks to symbiotic bacteria, except in the species H. tatei, which produces its own digestive enzymes. The name Heliamphora comes from Greek \u2014 helos (marsh) and amphora (jar), referring both to the plants\u2019 habitat and the shape of their traps.\n\nIn the wild, heliamphoras grow endemically on the Guiana Highlands (Venezuela, Guyana, Brazil), on isolated Tepui summits \u201chidden in the clouds.\u201d Their natural habitat consists of areas with high humidity, intense diffused light, and nutrient-poor soils. The difficult accessibility of these regions meant that most species were only described in the 21st century.","link":"https:\/\/carnisana.cdngmc.dev\/en\/Product-categories\/heliamphora\/","name":"Heliamphora","slug":"heliamphora","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carnisana.cdngmc.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carnisana.cdngmc.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carnisana.cdngmc.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/carnisana.cdngmc.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
