Utricularia cornigera is a lovely tropical bladderwort with leaves that can reach 4-8 inches across! It's orchid-like purple flowers often elicit gasps from onlookers in the nursery. Care for it as you would a Nepenthes and it will thrive.
These plants often die back for winter so you may not see much active growth in winter and throughout spring. They will grow new leaves starting in March but may only have a leaf or two until later in spring. The plants we are shipping will have small leaves, 1” or so across.
Care Instructions Sun: Grow on sunny windowsills with at least three hours of direct sun, in greenhouses, or in a terrarium with fluorescent light Water: Water with distilled or purified water frequently, do not let the pots sit in water for long periods of time but be sure to keep the potting medium moist all the time Temperature: Daytime temperatures in the 70’s-80’s with a 10-20 degree drop in night temps Dormancy: none needed

The charming cornigera
The Utric came very well packaged-- I am certain it would have survived a hurricane. There were two separate plants with a pretty well established root system and they are already both pushing out new leaves.
