Description

Utricularia graminifolia from Asia belongs to the bladderwort family. All the plants in this family are insect eating, perennial water and marsh plants. Bladder traps are a unique feature of this family, which Utricularia graminifolia forms after a short period of time in the aquarium. The species name means 'with grass like leaves' and the fresh green leaves after a short period of time form a pretty mat which looks like a lawn (2-8 cm tall). Utricularia graminifolia is therefore an ideal foreground plant.

Origin:  Asia
Type: Bottom layer
Growth: medium
Height: 2 cm - 8 cm
Width: 5 cm - 10 cm
Light demands: 0.50 Watt per liter
CO2 demands: 6-14 mg per liter

plants arrived in excellent condition. followed suggestions and split into 6 separate pieces. Planted up. Now having trouble keeping pieces anchored into gravel. there is no obvious rooting matrix. Nnow into day 5 and had to replant several pieces every morning., whatever is left of them as they seem to be disintegrating! resorted to wrapping lead strips round bunched pieces to hold them down. I so wanted this product to work but am now frustrated with it. Any suggestions welcome.

Looking good now after a few weeks of settling in????????

looks good but needs to be put into an aquarium with no fish as they absolutely love it, pulling it out (as it's so fine) and eating it so no chance to get established.

Hello! I received Utricularia graminifoli. It arrived in great condition. For some reason today it started to die. Maybe its because of the hot weather. What is the best temperature to grow it in? Does it need a lot of light? Should i grow it in the soil, or something else? Also, when will you have it back in stock? I would like to buy some more. Thank you :-) andreythorne@att.net

Pls see the description for the plant requirements. But it does need planting in the substrate! More arrives next week.

What makes this a 'master' plant? Also does this plant have roots? I can't work it out by pictures I see online, some look like its tied down rather than rooting.

Prefers co2 and higher light in general and it has no visible roots

It will still keep itself down though right? No wire needed etc Will it die without Co2? ( I do use liquid co2 but I might not forever. )
