Utricularia Sandersonii • BCP Import • Terrestrial Bladderwort from South Africa

This is another established plug of Utricularia sandersonii — the classic, easy-growing terrestrial bladderwort known for its adorable “bunny-eared” flowers. This listing features a different 2cm plug from the same original BCP import batch — and you'll receive the exact plant pictured.

Native to southern Africa, U. sandersonii grows quickly in high-humidity environments, forming a dense mat of tiny green leaves and producing small, snapdragon-like flowers on thin upright stalks. It’s a firm favourite among both beginners and experienced carnivorous plant collectors.

Like all bladderworts, this species uses tiny underground suction traps to catch and digest microscopic prey — though most growers keep it for the floral display. Once settled, it can flower multiple times a year with little effort.

This 2cm plug has been grown out at Cultivo and is fully rooted and ready to pot up in your preferred substrate.

🪴 Growing Tips & Care Info

• 🔆 Best in semi-shade or bright filtered light
• 🌿 Perfect for terrariums, moss trays, or carnivorous plant bogs
• 🪴 Use Bladderwort PROmix™ or moist shredded sphagnum moss
• 💧 Keep soil consistently moist – do not allow to dry out
• 💦 Tray method: 0.5–1cm of rain, RO, or distilled water

This cheerful bladderwort is easy to care for and flowers freely in warm, stable conditions. Great as a companion plant or standalone feature.

• Because Cultivo is a boutique-style store, most of our collector’s plants are one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” or limited seasonal releases. That means once they’re sold, they’re gone - so standard restock notifications aren’t practical here
• A few seasonal plants or variants of small-batch releases may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
