Description

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.

LPlease 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

Lots of dainty white flowers on a tiny little plant

Lots of dainty white flowers on a tiny little plant . I like it so much that I ordered three more different bladderworts.

Beautiful specimen

Arrived in perfect condition with flower stocks already started. 2 weeks later and it has already taken off and flowering like crazy. Wouldn’t expect anything less from California carnivores.

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.
