Plant care: Bladderwort 'Utricularia alpina x endressii'

Bladderwort alpina x endressii (Utricularia alpina x endressii) is relatively easy to care for and does not require insects to survive. The tropical origins of its two parent species mean that this plant thrives in a warm and humid environment, ideally around 28°C (82°F). A terrarium or a warm, humid spot on a windowsill is usually sufficient to provide the right conditions. Utricularia alpina x endressii can be attached to a piece of bark or keep it in a pot with a mixture of perlite and peat moss. This method ensures that excess water doesn’t linger in the pot, preventing both dehydration and root rot. We offer a suitable mix and other plant care components in Araflrora grow medium section. Watering should be done with rainwater or distilled water to avoid the harmful minerals found in tap water. With the right temperature, humidity, and care, Utricularia alpina x endressii can thrive, making it a great addition to your collection.
