Long-Leaved Bladderwort
Utricularia longifolia is a striking terrestrial bladderwort loved for its lush, bright green foliage and beautiful violet flowers. Fast-spreading and easy to grow in the right conditions, it forms dense, vibrant carpets—making it perfect for terrariums, paludariums, carnivorous plant displays, or as a living ground cover around other species like Drosera or Pinguicula. Its tiny underground bladder traps help it thrive in nutrient-poor, wet substrates, adding both beauty and function to any setup.
