Plant care: Bladderwort 'Utricularia calycifida'

There is no great challenge in taking care of Bladderwort alpina x endressii (Utricularia alpina x endressii) it doesn't need them to survive. The tropical origin of its two ancestors results in Utricularia alpina x endressii also needing a warm and humid environment around 28⁰C. A terrarium or a warm humid spot on the windowsill will be enough. You can attach the plant to a piece of bark, but it can also be kept in a pot with a mixture of perlite and peat moss. In this way excess water can't linger in the pot and dehydration is also prevented. We offer a suitable mixture and other components in our 'Plant Accessories' section. It is best to water Utricularia alpina x endressii using rainwater or distilled water.
