Utricularia longifolia is an epiphytic bladderwort native to Brazil. It produces showy purple flowers on long stalks and its large bladder traps often grow out of the bottom of its pot. It is best to keep the soil well saturated for most of the year with a slightly dryer rest period during the winter. See additional information below.
