I was wondering what an easy terrestial utric to grow is. I don't have any and I was looking into getting one.
 
That's an easy one! U. sandersonii. Also livida, subulata, and bisquamata.
 
easy? most any terrestrial Utric is fairly easy but i imagine you want flowers on a semi regular basis so i would try:

sandersonii
livida
bisquamata(especially Betty's Bay, its a larger flowered form)
lateriflora
prehensilis
some forms of longifolia are fairly easy to flower
dichotoma and its varieties(nova-zealandiea flowers every so often for me)
calycifida cultivars are easy to flower especially 'Mrs. Marsh'

unless you want a true weed stay away from subulata

most any terrestrial utric is simple to grow. some such as tricolor are just a pain to get to flower. get yourself 6 or 8 species and you should always have something in flower
 
PM me with your address, and I'll send you a plug of U. livida!

Just plant the plug in a pot (bigger the better; try a 5" square plastic pot) with a 50/50 peat/quartz sand mix, and a little LFS at the bottom to cover the holes. It'll spread over the surface and flower prolifically.
