Utricularia sandersonii (Large Flower form) is a delightful terrestrial bladderwort with cheerful, snapdragon-like blooms that appear on and off throughout the growing season. This larger-flowered form is especially eye-catching, with pale violet petals and a distinct “bunny ear” shape that makes it a favourite among growers.
Native to southern Africa, Utricularia sandersonii forms a dense, mossy mat of fine leaves and produces clusters of upright flower stalks once established. It’s one of the most rewarding bladderworts to grow — fast-spreading, beginner-friendly, and always full of character.
Like all bladderworts, it’s a true carnivorous plant, using underground bladder traps to suck in and digest microscopic soil organisms. But most growers love it for the charming flowers that pop up from spring through autumn.
This plug is part of our original BCP import and has been fully acclimatised in South Africa. You'll receive a well-rooted 2cm plug ready to pot up in your own carnivorous plant setup.
🪴 Growing Tips & Care Info
- 🔆 Bright filtered light or semi-shade — great for windowsills and terrariums
- 🌿 Ideal for bog setups or grown alone in a small pot
- 🪴 Use Bladderwort PROmix™ or moist, shredded sphagnum moss
- 💧 Keep the soil moist at all times — never let it dry out
- 💦 Tray method: 0.5–1cm standing water (rain, RO, or distilled water)
Given the right conditions, this plant will quickly spread to fill its pot and flower regularly — often with more than one stalk at a time.
🌸 Flowering Info
The large-flowered form of Utricularia sandersonii is prized for its playful “bunny-shaped” blooms. Flowers appear in flushes throughout spring and summer — and unlike many carnivorous plants, flowering does not harm the plant or slow its growth.
Personally imported and grown out at Cultivo, this plant is fully acclimatised to South African conditions — stronger, more resilient, and ready to thrive in your care.
Due to strict import regulations, bladderworts are still rare in local collections. This exact form is part of our original BCP import and is rarely offered at this size and quality.

Quick FAQ
Why Pargo and not PUDO?
We partner with Pargo because it’s part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are kept indoors at local shops and businesses, protected from heat, sunlight and weather until collection — ideal if you prefer to collect at your convenience or aren’t home during the day.
To keep every order safe and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we deliver only via Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted for handling fragile and temperature-sensitive items.
- 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!
