Utricularia graminifolia 1-2-Grow!

Utricularia graminifolia from Asia belongs to the bladderwort family. All plants in this family are insect-eating, water-perennial plants found in swamps. In nature, the plant lives in nutrient-poor locations, hence the need to capture small insects and digest them.

Bladder traps are a unique feature of this family, which Utricularia graminifolia forms after a short period in the aquarium.
The species name means 'with grass-like leaves' and the fresh green leaves will after some time form a beautiful carpet that looks like a lawn (2-8 cm high).

Utricularia graminifolia is therefore an ideal foreground plant, although it is quite demanding.
