It produces narrow, oblanceolate leaves a few centimeters long and sends up slender scapes topped with violet to mauve flowers marked with a yellow blotch on the lower lip, with some forms producing entirely yellow blooms. Plants may or may not be flowering at the time of purchase. You will receive a 1\" plug of this Utricularia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare for this carnivorous plant is simple. I recommend using a mix of 3:1 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.
