• At Cultivo, every release is carefully selected and grown with purpose. We don’t mass restock - most plants are small-batch, seasonal or one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” pieces. Once they’re sold, they’re truly gone. That’s why you won’t see a typical “email me when available” option on these listings
• Some seasonal items or small-batch variants may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
• 🔔 For updates on new and rare arrivals, keep an eye on our New Arrivals Collection or join our VIP list above.

Care

• Great for carnivorous plant bogs, terrestrial bladderworts can also be repotted on its own into our PROmix for bladderworts or shredded, moist long fiber sphagnum moss
• In optimal conditions, the plant plug will spread to fill the container over the next couple of months
• Grow terrestrial bladderworts in semi-shade or sheltered location with very bright light
• Using the tray method, keep your plant standing in a tray with 0.5-1cm water (Rainwater, distilled- or reverse osmosis water preferred)
• Top watering is fine too, keep your plant moist at all times - never let the soil dry completely
• Utricularia Livida usually flowers during the warmer months of spring and summer - Enjoy them, the flowering process is not as energy depleting such as in the case of venus flytraps and sundews, thus bladderworts can definitely be left to flower.
