- 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

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

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