Description

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 absolutely fascinating plant.

I received my shipment in a timely manner in a generously sized pot.
I’m still waiting for some blooms to happen.
I reached out to CC regarding when that might happen as I knew I was giving my Utricularia everything it needed.
I learned that I should fertilize with Maxsea so I did that so now I’m just waiting for that to kick in.
I can’t wait for it to flower as the blooms are just gorgeous.

The plant arrived in great shape. No flowers and a spent flower stalk. I does have numerous leaves so eventually she should bloom. I bought one elsewhere last year that never bloomed. I know Cal Carn recommends using some Maxsea on it every few weeks so I'll try that.

Amazing little plant.

I have yet to see it flower but I’ve been taking care of it and it seems to be spreading out — looks healthy.
I knew it was small… but I was kinda surprised at *how* small it actually is.. it’s barely visible to the naked eye. That’s on me tho.

Packed beautifully Thank you

Arrived packaged well, but I'm still waiting for it to do something. So far I have a beautiful mound of green moss in my terrarium, but gave it some food the other day so I'm hoping for some signs of growth.

Beautiful plant and amazing customer support

I purchased this little beautiful terrestrial Urticularia as soon as I learned that it was available (I was looking for it for a long time). I knew that I would have been out of town for several days so I asked the customer service to delay the shipment. Pity, the plant was sent earlier than agreed, and it stayed at my front door several days in the sun. I contacted the customer support and Alison has been extremely helpful, proactive, and very responsive, and she sent me a replacement right away. As a bonus I also received a red Drosera capensis together with the Urticularia :)

I've been looking for these plants for a while now and saw social media that you had them for sale, so I quickly bought one!

FAQs

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY ORDER?

We guarantee your plant arrives alive and healthy. If there is a problem, email us within 72 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant, and we will make it right.

Please note: some cosmetic stress from shipping is normal and not eligible for replacement, including minor leaf loss, brown spots or small tears. Our team will use their expertise to determine whether an issue qualifies under this guarantee. There is also seasonal, cyclical growth to many of these plants and they may arrive dormant.

HOW LONG DOES SHIPPING TAKE?

We are a small, family-style nursery with a tight-knit team of dedicated plant lovers, and every single order is handled with the same care we’d give our own gardens. Once you place your order, please allow 1–3 weeks for processing — that’s our team hand-selecting your plants, gently cleaning them up, carefully wrapping each one, and packing everything with love to make sure it arrives at your door in the best shape possible. Shipping then takes an additional 2–7 days depending on your location. We know waiting is hard when you’re excited about new plants, but we promise the extra time is worth it — no order here is ever rushed or treated like just another box on a conveyor belt.
