Ultricular graminifolia in cup

Utricularia graminifolia from Asia belongs to the family of bladders. All plants of this family are insect, perennial water and palustri plants. In nature, the plant lives in poor places of nutrients, so the need to catch small insects and digest them.

The bladder traps are a unique feature of this family, which the Utricularia graminifolia forms after a short period in the aquarium.

The name of the species means "with grass as leaves" and the fresh green leaves will form after a little nice mat that looks like a lawn (2-8 cm tall).

The Utricularia graminifolia is therefore an ideal prominent plant, although it is rather challenging.
