Utricularia subulata bladders

[ANTSPlantation]

These bladders are sooooo tiny and nearly impossible to capture on camera.

Just noticed tonight that I finally got this mysterious weed to produce a tiny proper flower, not just the weird floating balls.

I think I have some infesting a terrarium.

 

[Raymond Chong]

I have a pot that is full of those round balls. They never opened into flowers.

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Don't worry, you'll get lots of seeds.

Don't worry, you'll get lots of seeds.

And the plague begins. Luckily, I have the pot in a small aquarium so chances to escape should be very small.

I also grow my Utrics in small vessels to prevent infestation.

 

[Clusty]

Are utricularias really this bad?
I have a few large leafed ones and 1 tiny sandersonii.
I can’t imagine how they could’ infest’ everything. Can’t you just pluck them constantly every time they show up uninvited ?

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

I actually don't find they hurt the plants. But they do infest everything. I like them all over the place.
