Utricularia cornigera Potted

Utricularia cornigera is a lovely tropical bladderwort with leaves that can reach 4-8 inches across! It's orchid-like purple flowers often elicit gasps from onlookers in the nursery.  Care for it as you would a Nepenthes and it will thrive.

These plants often die back for winter so you may not see much active growth in winter and throughout spring. They will grow new leaves starting in March but may only have a leaf or two until later in spring. The plants we are shipping will have small leaves, 1” or so across.
