Utricularia minutissima originates from Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam and Australia. The carnivorous plant grows there on muddy and sandy ground on open spaces. The name 'bladderwort' means it catches small prey with bladders which are found right above the ground. Utricularia minutissima has a great collection of lilac flowers with a yellow spot growing from long flower stalks. A terrarium can mimic the ideal climate for this species.
