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 and protect from frost
- 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
- Most terrestrial bladderworts flower during the warmer months of the year - spring and summer - Enjoy them, flowering does not affect growth such as in the case of venus flytraps and sundews, thus bladderworts can be left to flower
