Utricularia sandersonii is a tropical bladderwort native to South Africa. It is most well known for its prolific flowers resembling floating rabbits. This form of U. sandersonii also produces hair-like runners that allow it to spread easily across the surface of the soil and into neighboring pots. It is an easy grower and excellent candidate for terrariums and window sills. See additional information below.

First time Curious Plant customer here. I ordered 2 different types of utricularia plants. They arrived in 2 days since i spent extra on the recommended faster shipping. The plants were well packaged with the separate soil mix and heat pack that i also ordered, as suggested by the store for viability and a refund if needed. The plants arrived in excellent condition. They are bright green and beautiful even without any active flowering. Though the overall cost was more than i would normally spend on this size of plant, I think they were worth every penny. Would definitely order from Curious Plant again because I know im getting quality plants and an easy, straight forward shopping experience.
