Wish I had seen this post a week ago lol. If no one responds when this last couple sets bloom (I honestly dont know what they are but I'm sure it's at least one of those) I'll separate and let you know.

However, If you want to branch out, I have U. Humboldtii, Nelumbifolia, and Alpina. Also have Inflata (Aquatic). I didn't care for utrics for the longest time but they grew on me. Very cool if you can see their structure. Same with Genlisea

I am in love with macro shots of the bladders. I have posted a few in the pics section.
I am wondering what conditions you grow your utrics in, and if they would do well in the 'terrestrial' conditions that my sandersonii and dichotoma are in.

Probably the same. Mine for the most part grow as hitchhikers because keeping them contained would require isolating them and I'm just like "Ehh" They compliment the other stuff. Usually with my sundews in a tray system.

The larger ones I grow differently. They have a much higher water table but they're flexible on that. I grow them in LFS or a mix. The alpina I grow like a Nepenthes in a net pot.
