Hong Kong Utric Surprise

[Marcus]

Hi all,

I got a nice surprise today. Someone send me some unexpected utrics from Hong Kong.

They are:

U. aurea (acquatic)
U. caerulae (terrestrial)
U. striatula (epiphytic)
U. uliginosa (terrestrial / submerged)

Now, here I stand, and don't know how to cultivate them.

If anyone has experience with these species, please let me know. Otherwise I will just cultivate them the standard way for the respective group and hope for the best.

Cheers, merry etc.
Marcus

Utricularia striatula is a lithophyte in habitat, and will be the most difficult to maintain. Dodec maintained his by regular division of the stolons. I think he mentioned to me that this plant is an annual in habitat, as is U. caerulea. I will defer to the Master in this ;-) and let him add his own comments.
