Utricularia alpina
Alpine Bladderwort
Description
Utricularia alpina is an epiphytic bladderwort, meaning it grows on other plants, typically in mountainous regions. It is native to South America and has distinctive, bladder-like structures that trap small aquatic organisms. It produces showy flowers, often white or yellow, that add to its appeal. It thrives in a humid environment with bright, indirect light. It is a great choice for a tropical terrarium or a greenhouse. Provide it with a well-draining substrate and water regularly with rainwater or distilled water. This plant's unique qualities are a great addition to a collection.
