A warm growing species - I have killed it once before by allowing it to get too cool through the winter, so this time it is sitting on a heat pad through the winter.
When I have enough to divide, I will try a less intensive approach. Unfortunately winter demonstrated that a heat pad was not enough. Plants of the World online says: "The native range of this species is Tropical Africa, Indian Subcontinent, Panama to Brazil. It is an annual or lithophyte and grows primarily in the wet tropical biome." Rebecca Robinson says on her website: "This lovely little species is quickly becoming one of my favorite terrestrial bladderworts! It has small, dark green, round leaves that spread quickly throughout the pot. I've found that once it fills an entire pot it gets cramped and starts producing smaller leaves and fewer flowers. I would recommend dividing it once it fills a pot. The flowers are on shorter stalks, a few inches tall, with multiple flowers per stalk." |
