Product details

The Utricularia graminifolia is an extraordinary aquatic plant known for its delicate, grass-like appearance and ability to form a lush carpet in aquariums. It is part of the bladderwort family, a group of carnivorous plants, but in aquariums, it functions as a purely decorative species. Its fine, bright green leaves create a natural, meadow-like effect, making it a favorite for foreground planting. Grown in-vitro, this plant arrives free from pests, algae, and contaminants, ensuring a healthy start for your aquascape.

Key Features:

Grass-Like Appearance: Utricularia graminifolia features thin, grass-like leaves that form a dense, vibrant green carpet, perfect for creating a natural meadow look in aquascapes.
Unique Carnivorous Plant: While it belongs to the carnivorous bladderwort family, it poses no threat to aquarium inhabitants and serves as a purely decorative plant.
In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, this plant is free from snails, algae, and pathogens, ensuring a clean and healthy start for your tank.
Ideal for Foreground Carpeting: Utricularia graminifolia spreads quickly under the right conditions, making it an excellent choice for creating a lush green carpet in the foreground of aquariums.

Care Requirements:

Lighting: Utricularia graminifolia requires medium to high lighting to maintain its compact, grassy form and encourage rapid spreading. Insufficient lighting may result in slow growth or sparse carpeting.
CO2: CO2 supplementation is highly recommended to promote faster, more vibrant growth, especially for creating a dense carpet effect.
Water Parameters: This plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH range of 5.0-7.0 and temperatures between 22-28°C. Clean, nutrient-rich water is essential for optimal growth.
Trimming: Occasional trimming helps maintain its neat, carpet-like appearance and encourages lateral spreading. Trimmings can be used to propagate the plant further.

Planting Tips:

Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before planting.
Divide the plant into small portions and plant them evenly across the substrate to promote even spreading and rapid coverage of the aquarium floor.
Ensure medium to high lighting and CO2 supplementation for faster establishment and to maintain a dense, lush carpet.
