information: "Bladderwort" is not
winter hardy here in Colorado, but can be moved indoors to and
aquarium to greenhouse pond that is very well lit. Rarely the
plant may drop fruits to the bottom of the pond that will
germinate the next season. "Bladderwort" lives most of
it's life slightly submerged... rising to the surface to flower,
then submerging again. "Bladderwort" feeding habits
resemble a carnivorous plants... as it traps and consumes small
aquatic creatures. Remove dead or dying
foliage and flowers as they appear. |
