I have some questions about my Utrilularia culture. I list the
species I have below, and what I know of the culture based on reading
in (primarily) Slack. I'd appreciate any further, abbreviated, info.
I'm primarily concerned about some plants I have outside, which aren't
real active. I'm wondering which species are warm growers, and thus
should be confined to my heated, indoor, terrarium. Also, what's
involved in getting these guys to flower? So far livida has put up
quite a number of scapes, and sandersonii has put up a few, but the
rest are not putting up any.
Utricularia
+++++++++++
gibba (aquatic) - I believe this is a U.S. species, and can take
(at least) non freezing winter temps.
graminifolia - seems quite happy indoors.
juncea - VERY slow growing outdoors.
livida - very happy outdoors.
nephrophylla
praelonga - keep very wet, dormant in winter.
prehensilis - likes shade.
pubescens
sandersonii - outdoor one flowering, indoor one isn't.
striata (aquatic) - mine may well be dead.
tricolor - keep very wet, tropical temps & humidity. Happy indoors.
