Hi @Olivera

I've been trying various glass containers. Most of my experiments have died except this one. It has U calycifida, D "Werewolf" and a little gemmea. It also has springtails - that may be why it has lasted (planted sept, 2020). Try to ignore the slimy media - will have to deal with that soon

I'll be curious to know what you decide to plant in it - I like the bands.

Hi @stevebradford,

These are from the seeds you sent me back in September 2021. The plants seem to have established themselves.

Can you spot them? I think I see them.

Utricularia calycifida

Received this plant back in April from Labine. It came with a flower spike with a number of flowers which it didn't drop....surprisingly.
Now it has put on a number of new leaves and can't believe it is putting up a new flower spike.

1st flowering in my care.

You're spoiling it. They do best thrown in a wet spot and ignored.

 

[Olivera]

It's been a year since I got it from @stevebradford.
It is flowering for the first time.

They do better if you just throw them in the bottom of your terrariums.

Repot my calycifida into lfsm+perlite, thought it’d be nice having a way to view the traps. Central mass went into the net pot, and these buried leaves got repot into fresh peat+perlite.

Also tossed some yellowing leaves into a water vial, though I’m not sure if they can even be propped this way.

(glass will be covered to dissuade leaves growing into the reservoir)

Lovely setup! I have done something similar before. My two cents: If you want to see the traps in the glass, you may want to block the light entering the glass, with a black sock or something like that. Otherwise they will send leaves instead.

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I seen the longifolia start to put out some leaves into the reservoir, hopefully this will keep em in check.
