Here are the growing tips for carnivorous plants of the UTRICULARIA genus. Some species require different treatment, whether for watering, temperature, light, etc. These particularities are noted in the description of each species, in the UTRICULARIA store.
Temperature
Up to 35°C in summer and 10 to 15°C in winter.
Water
Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis. Water that is too hard will cause the plant to die in a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, it generally contains too much salt, which is harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water. In winter, keep the substrate moist.
Fertilizer
To be totally avoided! The plant provides for its own organic nutrient needs thanks to its traps.
Brightness
High light all year round. Exposure to the sun will allow it to have abundant flowering.
