Utricularia graminifolia - NatureHolic InVitro

The grass-like water hose (Utricularia graminifolia) stands out with juicy medium green leaves. They grow close together and thus become a really beautiful lawn in the foreground of the aquarium. With a maximum height of 5 cm, this water hose also fits very well in a nano aquarium. Utricularia graminifolia likes soft water, a supply of CO2 is required for good, dense growth.

For planting, the InVitro plant clump is cut into small pieces of about 1x1 cm, which are placed in the aquarium with some distance. Since the Grassy Water Leek reproduces by runners in the substrate, it spreads by itself, closes the gaps relatively quickly, and the underwater lawn becomes nice and dense. Rinse the clear nutrient substrate well beforehand under a not too strong stream of water.

Utricularia graminifolia can also be cultivated tied up on aquarium wood or aquarium rocks. Attention: The plant must not be squeezed strongly, it reacts very sensitively to pressure points.

As one of the few carnivorous plants suitable for aquariums, Utricularia graminifolia is quite special. At the very bottom of the rootstock sit the tiny trap bladders. However, even for the very smallest shrimp babies these catch bladders are too small, they have nothing to fear from the plant.

Here you will receive a grass-like water hose from in vitro culture. This aquarium plant is already guaranteed free from algae, pathogens, worms like planaria, from other unwanted co-inhabitants like hydras and of course from snails due to the cultivation method. Pesticide use is also not necessary in the cultivation process, so the plant can be used immediately in the aquarium without quarantine.

Expert Tip: With the NatureHolic plant glue stick this plant gently and easily on stones, roots and decoration . Made in Germany, the adhesive does not pollute the water and has no negative impact on the stock.
