Does anyone grow Utricularia humboldtii partially submersed as an "emergent aquatic?"
I've been growing mine in really wet peat moss (like a slurry) but I noticed that some of the bladders were in the air, where I don't think they can catch anything, so I added a centimeter or so of water today. I also hope the extra water will help regulate the temperature inside the container, since presumably it is more difficult to heat up water than air.
I took this picture right after I added the water:
From the other pictures I've seen of humboldtii, most people seem to be growing humboldtii in live sphagnum moss, like Utricularia quelchii. So I was wondering if anyone has ever tried growing it underwater. Barry Rice mentions that it can be grown in a sphagnum slurry, but is that just keeping the sphagnum really wet or does it actually referring to growing it semi-aquatically?
