What are some types of aquatic carnivorous plants?

[glamp88]

I was looking around the website and I noticed that "Aquatic CP's" were coming soon and I wondered what kinds there were. I was wondering if anyone knew some good links to pictures and descriptions of some types.

thanks

If you'll check the forum topic which says Utricularia, Aldrovanda, etc you'll learn about several different aquatic plants. That's the forum heading for the aquatic cp's.

Hey glamp88,

There are lots of aquatic carnivores, but the commonest in cultivation, easiest to grow, and the one that will probably be sold here (just guessing) is Utricularia gibba.

Some relevant links:

Aquatic Utricularia

Aldrovanda (another genus)

Some cp are sometimes below the water level, e.g. Sarracenia psittacina or Genlisea species.
