Is anybody on here growing this species? It has recently caught my eye and there doesn't seem to be too much information on it.
Any info about this plant is appreciated! (Pictures are always nice too.)
Thanks,

Research Growing Epiphytic Utrics
Hi all,
I've been looking around for epiphytic utrics for a while now. Epiphytic utrics are apparently difficult to grow. In the wild they grow on mossy rock faces with “bare peat and sphagnum” , shaded by trunks and branches. Water dries up...
Hi all
I'm in need of some Uticularia species.
I'm looking for any South American varieties as well as/including U. babui,
U. nelumbifolia, U. neprophylla, U. paulineae, U. biloba, U. blanchetti, U. endresii,
U. alpina, U. jamesoniana, U. campbelliana, U. asplundii, U...
So I recall a while back someone somewhere made a comment that there was not a lot of information on these guys and that that was the reason no one grew them or took up offers for them.
I was drafting up something for a friend and decided to go whole hog so here you go.
And please remember...
spent half the afternoon repotting 1/2 my Orchidioides utrics and came up with this
missing from the tank are humboldtii, reniformis, nephrophylla(because i forgot to throw it in there) and a presumed decessed nelumbifolia. present are geminiloba, two clones of alpina, asplundii(was...
Well, I have gotten so many questions about this that I decided to just make a thread.
I described the idea behind this in some past threads but pictures speak volumes where words can not articulate. So here are the pics:
I thread a few strands of sphag through the bottom of the half height...

I now consider myself to be successful with U. jamesoniana. I have had the plant for a little over a year now and last night I saw a scape raising up out of the pot. If I am lucky I will be able to pollinate the blooms and got some seed which will go first to an experienced T/C lab for...
Every time the topic of epiphytic species comes up, the knee jerk response is to say that they are difficult to grow and unsuitable for beginners. Is this really true? I would like to hear from people who have had trouble growing these plants.
With the exception of U. quelchii, which has only...
Just wanted to say that so far, the plant is proving very ammenable to my culture on a moist to wet medium. Caution has been advised though, although the growth is excellent, the plant might not form its characteristic tubers that will carry it through dormancy. Based on this, I get the feeling...
Is anyone in the process of introducing the "missing" epiphytes into cultivation? Or finding out the trick to successful growing?
buntingiana
campbelliana
jamesoniana
praetermissa
unifolia
I think a couple of people might have a couple of these plants, but I am more wondering if there's any...
