Bladderworts (Utricularia)

An interesting genus of carnivorous plants, with aquatic, terrestrial, and epiphytic species found all over the world! Utricularia us tiny, round 'traps' to capture tiny food items such as MOSQUITO LARVAE (yes, you heard that right!). Year-round outdoor growing in temperate areas, and terrestrial species can be excellent windowsill / terrarium plants in other areas, with beautiful flowers too! Most varieties need filtered bright light, medium-high humidity, and pure water. See our Carnivorous Plant Care pages for more detailed information.

PLEASE NOTE that photographs of specific items are for informational purposes only, and do not represent the actual plant, or even the size of the plant, that you will receive. Also, due to nature of our aquatic butterworts, these plants will be shipped in a baggie, and should be introduced into a water feature upon arrival.
