yes, this is true. im sad now :(

What was the chances?
A subulata flower in a genlisea aurea pot! The flower are almost the same!

I have subulata flowers now :( how the f*** this can happen ?? i never buy or trade that specie !
 
Maiden, I am so sorry for your sudden disappointment. It's good to see that the Genlisea is at least alive, and seems to be doing OK.

That photo sequence made me LAUGH, though. I needed that. Yes, alas, it's the Utric. I don't understand, though, how I can't seem to keep U. subulata alive. I've had it sent, deliberately and not, many times, and each time it disappears. Grrr! I actually want that species is the bog and other places.


Happy growing!
 
Lil Stinkpot lol

Yeah i think my genlisea doing well, look healthy to me, but im looking for the flowers. Maybe this summer !

Thanks for the reply anyway hehe

I hate you right now.....
You and your stupid awesome genlisea....

:p

Seriously though, that looks really good! My hats off to you. I have not had a chance to grow Genlisea yet but I have heard they can be fickle (at least some). My complements to the chef er... gardener!
 
Is any of that subulata up for trade :)

I love your plant. Have you ever considered growing your plant in a manner in which the traps would be visible. There is information on this in the Savage Garden.

Thanks,
Kenny
 
Utricularia: LOL thanks for the compliment :)

Its a nice plant, easy grower if you keep the water level very high.

Entherptogoly: yes. But i have this plant since almost 2 years, and almost no new grown in the first year. So i just wanted to save the plant. Now the plant(s) grow nicely, i will consider growing it in a glass pot ! I think i will wait for a flower before.
 
Have you had a chance to check out Andreas Fleischmann's new book/monograph on the genus? It is definitely worth looking at. Great photos!

I clean all the subulata, the most i can.

Usually this approach will not work as the remnants of the U. subulata in the clump of Genlisea will eventually spread. When I've received contaminated plants, I usually try to propagate with a leaf. If I cannot get that to work, then I try a small sprig of plant & root which is repeatedly washed so nothing foreign is sticking to it.

U. subulata & bisquamata can be very difficult to get out of a collection if you allow them to get established. Good luck.
 
"When I've received contaminated plants, I usually try to propagate with a leaf"

Good technic :)

But i dont want to remove all the subulata, i have a big pot just for this genus, i just dont want any roots competition with my gen. I will just reclean each 2-3 months.

Anyway, you are right, its almost impossible to remove all the subulata from my collection ! And i had this plant for free, never paid for this lol. It came with my genlisea or stylidium, not sure.
