Seed Pack Dionaea m. “Orangey Traps Very Thin Petioles” seed grown (12 seeds/pack)

This a selected seed grown plant with long, thin petioles and orangey blushed traps. This cultivar is beautiful and we’ll be naming it and releasing it soon because it’s just too good!

These are open-pollinated, meaning the plants have been pollinated naturally, without our help, in our substantial botanical collection of select Venus flytrap cultivars. Venus flytraps are temperate plants and will have the best germination rate with a period of cold stratification. They can take many, many months to germinate. Sometimes, they will sprout within days, but taking a few months is more common. We’ve seen them take as long as a year!

Stylidium debile, also known as the Fragile Trigger plant, is a much-debated Australian plant. During its flowering season, the stems of its flowers become sticky traps for insects, making it carnivorous. Because this plant is not carnivorous year-round, it is often considered proto-carnivorous. Regardless of its classification, it’s a really cool and fun plant! 

Trigger plants are best known for their unusual method of smacking insects with their pollen. In the center of the flower is a touch-sensitive trigger that hits the insect and dusts it with pollen, or once the stigma is developed, it picks up pollen from the insect.

The rosettes we are shipping will be 1-2” across and flowering size!

Care Instructions

Growth Habit: Small rosettes of elongated, paddle-shaped leaves grow to a few inches across and bloom readily. Tall scapes have multiple small, pink flowers. These plants quickly spread throughout any pot they are grown in and divide rapidly. They die back in winter, reemerge in spring, and bloom almost year-round when grown indoors or in lots of sun. 
Sun: Full sun outdoors or indoors on a sunny windowsill or in a terrarium under grow lights. If grown under grow lights, have lights on a 10-12 hour day length and hang 6-10 above plants depending on the strength of light. With proper light, they will bloom almost non-stop. If your plant won’t produce flowers, it may need more light.

Water & Humidity: Always sitting in at least two inches of distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater, they prefer deep saucers of water or undrained containers to recreate their very waterlogged conditions. Do not dry out. Keep watered in winter. While they appreciate a little added humidity, they do not need it. 

Temperature: 15 degrees - 100 degrees; needs protection from colder winters and always keeps very wet when hot.

Dormancy: None but will die back if kept outdoors for winter and resume vigorous growth in spring.

Soil: The plant comes potted in a custom mix of four parts: peat moss to one part perlite. Repot every 1-3 years, and you’ll find lots of new plants to divide out or to pot into a big pot together. Preferably, use plastic, glazed ceramic, or glazed terracotta pots. 

Feeding and Fertilizer: Apply MaxSea fertilizer once per month to the foliage. Dilute 1/4 teaspoon of MaxSea into one gallon of water and then apply with a mister bottle or a watering can.

A wonderful and easy little bladderwort, Utricularia bisquamata will spread throughout your entire collection via seed.  It blooms in profusion spring through summer with many tiny flowers multicolored in yellow, violet, white, and orange. This form, ‘Betty’s Bay,’ is spectacular! It has larger flowers, with the flower's lower lip flaring widely like a twirling skirt caught mid-air! The upper part of the flower is a pale yellow, a nice contrast against the purple of the lower flower. 

Please note; when we ship Utricularia, the delicate flowers cannot withstand the shipping process. You will likely receive a pot with no flowers but many small stolons (these look like small blades of grass) that indicate lots of healthy growth in the pot. These small faux leaves can be hard to see! But keep in mind that the real action is under the soil, where the Utricularia will have many, many tiny bladder-like traps! With a little time and care, they will start producing flowers. 

Care Instructions
Sun: Prefers to hide in the shade of other plants, they will also thrive indoors, under grow lights
Water: Always sitting in a few inches of distilled or purified water
Temperature: 40 - 90 degrees
Dormancy: none needed

This is an easy and rewarding aquatic bladderwort (Utricularia). It will thrive on a sunny windowsill or under grow lights. Some people even grow it in the water trays of carnivorous plants!  It has beautiful yellow flowers that hang on 3-5" scapes.

This will come in a small clump, at least 6” worth, but it may be in a few individual sprigs, in water, or in a resealable plastic bag. 

Care:

Grow your gibba in almost any container, but it will enjoy at least a gallon of water. Mix one cup of peat moss in each gallon of water. You may need to change the peaty water if algae becomes a problem, but some algae is normal. Grow in sunny to partly sunny conditions; the sun induces flowering. This plant is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and can even be frozen solid and return to growth when thawed.

Utricularia livida is an easy and rewarding bladderwort from South Africa.  Well grown plants will cover bog gardens like a carpet and bloom en masse spring through fall.

Utricularia sandersonii is one of the easiest and most charming of the terrestrial bladderworts.  It can be grown outside in areas with mild summers and it seems like it's almost always in flower.  The best part are the little flowers that look like angry bunnies.  This particular form has wider, bluer flowers than that of typical Utricularia sandersonii!

This is Damon’s very first terrestrial bladderwort hybrid; in fact, it may be the first manmade terrestrial bladderwort hybrid ever! At first, when they bloomed, he was a little unsure that the flowers were all that he had hoped for as they looked so much like sandersonii “blue,” but by summer, that doubt had vanished, and this has become a favorite in the nursery!

Although the flowers look somewhat like sandersonii “blue,” this hybrid produces lots and lots of little bunny-shaped flowers on three to four-inch scapes, whereas sandersonii usually only makes one or two flowers, low to the ground. Perfect for a terrarium!

We’ve named this “Peter Rabbit” for Peter D’Amato, our founder and the writer of the Savage Garden who has always delighted in the bunny-ears of sandersonii! 

This is sandersonii “Blue” x livida “Merrie Heart”
