A few of the utrics

[kayaker78]

i've had it since november, and ironically, NO undergrowth. weird aint it. i dont know what i did wrong since longifolia can survive pretty much in any condition it grows in. but yeah, no undergrowth. hahahaha. i just recently bought a new plug, and we'll see how it does.

ironic since the quelchii is a beast....

How are you growing it? I would try changing things up a bit... Maybe try a new soil mix. There are several clones out there with slightly different preferences.

keep um warm, bright and humid. Then it is a weed. The best i have seen it do has been in "petiolaris group" conditions. Then it was escaping form its pot and invading all of its neighbors.....

well i had it originally growing in peat and sand---switched it up to live LFS, just like the quelchii. in highland conditions. maybe that had something to do with it. but yeah---luckily it's a common and accessible plant. so im not too worried.

There sure are! I was lucky to get the kind that loves to grow waterlogged at room temp.

Try growing it in LFS. But I grow mine in just peat/sand/perlite mixes.

U. gibba

I had a tiny bit of this a month ago and they are growing surprisingly well in the fishtank, along with the Aldrovanda.

Finally!

U. reniformis

My reniformis was doing GREAT, but then it suddenly died back after the flower show. I guess it didn't like the change. It's alive, but just one little root.

This form looks unusual to me, looks most similar to the Durban SA form but there are differences.

I love Utrics, but the only ones I don't kill are the aquatics.

Aldrovanda & U. gibba

They are growing and branching out!

U.bisquamata

 

[Tamlin Dawnstar]

Take care of this U.bisquamata, this is the more typical form vs U. 'Betty's Bay' that most growers now seek. We need to keep this one in active cultivation as well. Thanks for all the good photos! I am particularly impressed with your U. longifolia which always gave me problems. Contrary to most advice mine flowered best when given room to run and I think that the potbound vs free running to trigger flowering in any Utriicularia species depends on which species as well as many other contributing factors so for me, the jury remains out on that one/

This one was juust sitting at a south-facing window sill. I try to keep my utrics in a high water table.
