Other information

An aquatic carnivorous plant with a wide range. It's an easy grower and is happy even in the water trays of other carnivorous plants. 

​

I grow mine in a shallow plastic container. To set up a container for one place at least an inch of LFS moss or peat moss in the bottom and cover it with a thick layer of sand. Carefully fill the container with distilled water to about 2 inches above the sand, try not to disturb the sand. 

​

Place your aquatic bladderwort in the water and it will root. You can bury a piece of your plant in the sand to encourage this.

​

My plant only flowered when it filled the pot with a mat of bladders and was able to root
