It is a specialist of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eseasonally wet, sandy, or gravely grasslands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (campo sujo and campo rupestre) at elevations between 1,000 m and 1,300 m. It thrives in soils that are saturated during the summer rains but become significantly drier during the winter dormancy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe species is named for its highly unusual \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elaciniate (deeply and irregularly fringed) calyx lobes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, which sometimes appear as if they have been torn.

You will receive a 1\" plug of this Utricularia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare for this carnivorous plant is simple. I recommend using a mix of 1:1 peat to perlite, using the tray method to keep the substrate constantly wet with water under 50 PPM TDS. I use a 14 hour photo period at about 250 PPFD, but you can use a natural photo period or anywhere from 10-16 hours. I rarely fertilize, but when I do I normally spray the leaves with 500PPM MaxSea fertilizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note this plant will ship bare root \u003c\/b\u003evia USPS Priority Mail.
