A vigorous and floriferous terrestrial species from South Africa that I grew for a very long time. This form is probably a single clone and doesn't seem to produce any seed.
Flowers all through the year but needs to be divided regularly to keep it growing well. I haven't grown it recewntly but I think it died from neglect/compacency
rather than from cold. Writing in the bulletin of the Carnivorous Plant Society in 1994, Barry Rice says: "Taylor (1989) writes that these plants come from a small area in South Africa where they often grow on wet, vertical rock faces, at an elevation of 210-1200 meters. In spite of these peculiar conditions in the wild, the plant requires no special cultural methods. In good conditions, U. sandersonii grows quickly. After only a few months it will cover the surface of a 5 cm pot with its little leaves. It is easy to propagate--carefully detach from the mother pot a hunk of leaves, stolons, and bladders, and plant it in a new pot. In time you will be rewarded with a dense display of lovely flowers. Despite a few half-hearted attempts at selfing and cross pollination, I have not been able to yield seed from my plants." |
