Aquatic bladderworts (Utricularia) are free-floating plants—their foliage alternates along the stems, producing whorls of threadlike leaves. Most will form hairy turions in winter and send graceful flowers above the water's surface.
We are currently out of stock but will have more in late spring or early summer.

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.
