Utricularia Nephrophylla (Serra dos Órgãos, Brazil) • Rare terrestrial bladderwort (White Flower)

Utricularia nephrophylla (White Flower – Serra dos Órgãos, Brazil) is a rare and elegant bladderwort from the highlands of southeastern Brazil. This particular form, originating from Serra dos Órgãos, produces upright stalks of delicate white flowers with soft yellow markings — a striking contrast to the typical violet blooms of the species.

In the wild, this species grows among mossy rocks and cliff faces in high-elevation cloud forests, where it enjoys cool, humid conditions and bright filtered light. In cultivation, it thrives in terrariums, moss trays, or shaded setups with good airflow and consistent moisture.

Although U. nephrophylla is fully carnivorous — using hidden underground traps to catch and digest microscopic prey — it is most admired for its refined floral display. The white-flowered form is exceptionally rare and adds a soft, elegant touch to any carnivorous plant collection.

This is a genuine BCP collector’s variety, personally imported and grown out at Cultivo. You'll receive a healthy 2-4cm plug, fully rooted and ready to pot up in your carnivorous setup.

🪴 Growing Tips & Care Info

• 🔆 Bright filtered light or semi-shade (avoid harsh sun)
• 🌿 High humidity preferred – ideal for terrariums or moss trays
• 🪴 Pot into Bladderwort PROmix™ or moist shredded sphagnum moss
• 💧 Keep the soil consistently moist – never allow it to dry out
• 💦 Tray method: 0.5–1cm of rainwater, RO, or distilled water

Given the right conditions, this location form will slowly spread and flower reliably during the warmer months.

• Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
• We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
• Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it’s the real deal
• Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know - we’re happy to help!
