Utricularia geminiscapa

Hidden-fruit bladderwort is native to habitats with abundant sunlight, such as open bogs and sunny wetlands. It favors full sun but can also tolerate partial sunlight.

Hidden-fruit bladderwort prefers moderate temperatures, roughly the same range that most people find comfortable. It does best in conditions that are neither very hot nor very cold. The primary problem with high temperatures is the risk of sunburn, so providing some shade in summer is recommended to prevent excessive heat. When temperatures fall, Hidden-fruit bladderwort becomes dormant. If continuous growth is wanted, higher winter temperatures must be maintained. Frost can damage the plant and should be avoided.

When repotting Hidden-fruit bladderwort, select a pot 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) larger with good drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring or fall, making sure the root ball sits slightly below the rim of the flower pot. Water thoroughly after repotting and place in a warm spot with indirect sunlight.
